Data Engineer | Large Retailer | £68,000 | Manchester (Hybrid)
We're hiring a hands-on Data Engineer to join a high-profile data modernisation programme at one of the UK's most recognisable retail brands. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to help build a modern data platform from the ground up, working with best-in-class tooling at pace and scale.
The Programme
You'll be joining a data modernisation initiative - Replatforming a legacy data and reporting estate onto a modern cloud stack (Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Azure), retiring legacy MSSQL warehouses, and delivering across multiple international markets. Fast-paced, high-visibility, and high-impact.
The Role
Working as part of a collaborative engineering team and reporting to a Senior Data Engineer, you'll be hands-on in the day-to-day build of pipelines and data products that power analytics and reporting across the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Strong SQL — able to write, debug and optimise non-trivial queries
- Hands-on experience with a modern cloud data warehouse (Snowflake strongly preferred)
- Hands-on dbt experience (Core or Cloud) — not just exposure
- Proficient in Python for data transformation and scripting
- Comfortable with Git and Agile delivery
