We are supporting a public sector client in hiring a NiFi Data Engineer to join a collaborative development team delivering a data Lakehouse architecture across both cloud and on-premises platforms. This is a hands-on data engineering role working within Agile sprints across a full software development life cycle, building and maintaining data pipelines, developing data models and handling non-functional requirements including security, performance and metadata labelling.
The successful candidate will work closely with engineers and architects to deliver robust, well-tested pipelines that support a modern Lakehouse architecture across AWS and on-premises environments. This role suits a self-starting data engineer with experience in Lakehouse architectures, event-driven design and CI/CD-integrated development, who is comfortable picking up new technologies quickly and contributing from day one within a fast-paced, security-conscious environment.
