Senior Data Engineer | £500/day Outside IR35 | 6-Month Contract | London

I’m currently working with a global luxury travel and hospitality brand that is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join them on an exciting 6-month project.

This is a hands-on, build-focused opportunity for an experienced Data Engineer who enjoys designing scalable data infrastructure, building robust pipelines and taking ownership of architecture and data models.

Location: London – 2 days onsite per week

Day rate: £500/day Outside IR35

Contract: 6 months

Start: ASAP

Location: UK-based candidates

The role

You will be responsible for designing and building data infrastructure from the ground up, working across cloud platforms, data integrations and modelling.

The role will involve:

  • Designing and building scalable data pipelines and infrastructure
  • Working extensively with Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery
  • Developing robust solutions using Python and SQL
  • Integrating data from APIs and multiple external sources
  • Designing data models and contributing to the overall data architecture
  • Working with marketing and customer data, including GA4, Google Ads and Meta
  • Building reliable, scalable foundations for reporting and analytics
  • Taking ownership of technical decisions and driving projects forward

We're looking for someone with:

  • Strong commercial experience working with GCP and BigQuery
  • Excellent Python and SQL skills
  • Proven experience designing and building data pipelines
  • Strong understanding of data architecture and data modelling
  • Experience working with APIs and integrating multiple data sources
  • A hands-on, problem-solving approach and genuine builder's mindset
  • The ability to work independently and take ownership in a project environment

Experience working with marketing, customer or performance data would be beneficial, particularly across platforms such as GA4, Google Ads or Meta.

However, direct marketing platform experience is not essential. If you have strong GCP and BigQuery experience and can demonstrate that your technical skills are transferable, you will be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Data Engineer who wants genuine ownership and the opportunity to build rather than simply maintain an existing data environment.

If you are available for a new contract, based in the UK and able to commit to 2 days onsite in London each week, please get in touch.
