Job Description: Data Engineer
We are seeking a Data Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Microsoft SQL Server, T-SQL, and data integration to design, build, and maintain reliable data pipelines and data solutions. The role will focus on ingesting data from internal systems and third-party platforms, including REST APIs, transforming and validating data, and delivering high-quality datasets for reporting, analytics, and operational use. This aligns with current SQL Server Data Engineer and integration-focused role patterns.
Working hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 08:00-16:30
- Friday: 08:00 – 13:30
At least two days per week will need to be spent in the office at Grantham, as this is important for team collaboration and hands-on involvement with projects. The role will not be fully remote, and while we do offer a hybrid option for this role, Grantham is the primary base.
