Are you an experienced Lead Data Engineer or Data Engineering Manager ready to take the next step in your career? If you have led or mentored engineers, stayed hands-on with modern Azure data technologies, and helped take a data platform through meaningful transformation, this could be your opportunity to step into a broader leadership role.
You will join an organisation as it moves from a fragmented data landscape to a scalable, integrated enterprise data platform. You will help shape the architecture, lead the technical delivery and develop the engineering capability needed to support the organisation's future.
- Ownership of a significant global data platform transformation
- An existing team of six, with budget to grow to ten during the next financial year
- International scope, supporting users and services across APAC, EMEA and the Americas
- You will help lead the journey from legacy and fragmented data services to a modern, integrated Microsoft data platform.
Help define and deliver the data platform roadmap:
- Design and deliver solutions using Azure Data Lake, Databricks, SQL and Python
- Lead the transformation and migration of existing systems and data services
- Translate the wider programme into practical workstreams covering migration, integration, governance, analytics and legacy retirement
- Design scalable data platforms and contribute to key architectural decisions
- Lead, mentor and develop data engineers, helping to improve capability and engineering standards
- Strengthen approaches to pipelines, medallion architecture, data quality, lineage and governance
- Improve version control, branching, pull requests, CI/CD and promotion across development, test and production environments
- Help shape a resilient global support model, including coverage, escalation routes, recoverability and operational ownership
You may already be a Data Engineering Manager, or you could be a Lead Data Engineer, Technical Lead or Data Platform Lead who has led or mentored engineers and is ready for greater responsibility.
- Hands-on experience with Azure Data Lake
- Strong practical experience with Databricks and SQL
- Experience using Python within a data engineering environment
- Data platform design and architecture experience
- A track record of taking systems or platforms through transformation
- Experience delivering data platforms, rather than only maintaining established solutions
- Experience leading, mentoring or providing technical direction to data engineers
- A good understanding of data pipelines and medallion architecture
What matters most is that you have already demonstrated technical leadership, supported the development of other engineers and are ready to take greater ownership of people, platforms and delivery.
