Data Platform Engineer £70,000 – £75,000 + 10% bonus + excellent benefits
What you'll be doing
- Managing and developing the Snowflake platform and wider data platform ecosystem.
- Building self-service capabilities that make life easier for engineering and data teams.
- Designing and maintaining Terraform Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Automating platform provisioning and operational processes.

- Helping drive engineering standards and best practice from within the team.
What we're looking for
- Around 3+ years' experience in Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure or Data Platform Engineering.
- Strong Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code experience — we're looking for someone who really knows their Terraform.
- Strong hands‑on Azure experience.
- Around 1–2+ years of Snowflake experience , ideally working with the platform itself rather than simply developing applications on Snowflake .
- Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling.
- Experience with Azure data services such as Data Factory and Azure Storage/Data Lake .
- Scripting experience with Python, PowerShell or Bash .
- A genuine interest in automation, self-service and DevOps .
- A relevant HashiCorp Terraform certification would be great, but strong demonstrable Terraform expertise is equally important.
The kind of person we're looking for
You don't need to be a manager or have a big leadership background. We're much more interested in someone who is a solid hands‑on engineer who likes getting into the detail, figuring things out and improving how things work. If you're a Snowflake administrator who has strong development/IaC skills, a DevOps engineer moving into data platforms, or a Data Engineer who has developed a strong platform engineering skillset, we'd be interested in speaking with you. There's plenty of opportunity to learn and develop.
