Data Engineer
Location: Fully Remote (UK)
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 + Benefits
Contract: Permanent, Full-Time
We're working with a growing organisation looking to strengthen its data capability with the addition of a Data Engineer.
This is a hands-on role within a fast-paced data environment, where you'll be expected to contribute quickly and take ownership of your work. You'll work across a variety of data initiatives, developing and maintaining pipelines and supporting the delivery of reliable data solutions for reporting, analytics and wider business decision-making.
We're looking for someone with solid data engineering fundamentals who is comfortable getting into the detail, solving problems independently and working at pace. Strong SQL and practical experience building data pipelines are essential, this isn't a role suited to someone who has only had limited exposure to data engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain data pipelines and data integration processes
- Build and support ETL/ELT processes across a modern data environment
- Write, troubleshoot and optimise SQL queries
- Work with Python to support data engineering and automation activities
- Support the development and enhancement of cloud-based data solutions
- Contribute to data modelling, transformation and optimisation activities
- Monitor and improve data quality, reliability and performance
- Investigate and resolve data and pipeline issues
- Work with technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand requirements
- Contribute to data platform enhancements and continuous improvement initiatives
- Support reporting, analytics and wider data-driven projects
