About the Company
This is a specialist technology consultancy that puts human intellect and collaboration at the heart of everything it does. Operating across complex, data-intensive environments, the team partners with clients to solve their most demanding technical challenges. Known for a no-ego, high-performance culture, this is a business that takes quality seriously without taking itself too seriously.
The Role
This is an opportunity to join a skilled engineering team building and maintaining robust data pipelines for a diverse client base. You will work directly with clients on data architecture and design decisions, so this is a role for someone who communicates as confidently as they build. You will have genuine autonomy, access to new technologies and the chance to shape how data platforms are designed and delivered. If you thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional environment where quality matters, this is worth a conversation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain scalable data pipelines for a range of client environments
- Liaise directly with clients on data architecture, design and technical decisions
- Deliver high quality, best-practice data engineering solutions to specification
- Work across a range of data platforms, tools and frameworks as the project demands
- Recommend and implement new ideas, tooling and innovations
- Share knowledge and contribute to team learning
- Collaborate as part of dynamic, cross-functional delivery teams
- Produce clean, efficient, well-tested and well-documented code throughout
What You'll Need
Essential:
- 3+ years of data engineering experience building and maintaining data pipelines
- Hands-on experience with Python for data processing
- Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases
- Experience with orchestration and transformation tools such as Airflow or dbt
- Comfortable manipulating and modelling complex datasets
- Based within commuting distance of Belfast city centre (3 days on-site required)
Desirable:
- Experience working in a client-facing or consultancy environment
- Exposure to cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure)
Why Apply?
- Competitive salary on offer
- Hybrid working model — 3 days in a modern Belfast city centre office
- Direct client exposure and genuine influence over technical decisions
- Access to new technologies and support to gain certifications
- High-performance, low-ego culture where quality is the standard
