Data Engineer
Location: Birmingham (Hybrid)
Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week
About The Role
Cygnet is strengthening its data capability following a period of change, with a focus on building a sustainable, well-supported engineering environment.
We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a growing team supporting key business areas, including clinical, finance, and corporate services.
This role forms part of a restructured team model, designed to improve resilience, clarify ownership, and support long-term career development.
You will work collaboratively with other data engineers, BI professionals, and stakeholders, with clear priorities, shared platform responsibility, and realistic delivery expectations.
Ways of working
- Hybrid Model
- Birmingham office every Monday
- One additional office day aligned to team needs
- Remaining days remote
- Workload and priorities are actively managed to balance BAU support and project delivery
- Engineering standards, documentation, and knowledge-sharing are treated as core responsibilities, not after-hours work
What You’ll Be Doing
You will help design, build, and maintain our data platform as we continue our journey onto Snowflake, working across clearly defined data domains while contributing to shared platform components.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Building and maintaining reliable data pipelines using Snowflake and Azure
- Developing ETL/ELT processes supporting Power BI
- Contributing to a scalable, high-performance data warehouse
- Translating business and technical requirements into robust, well-documented solutions
- Continuously improving data pipelines through optimization and best practices
- Collaborating closely with BI, analytics, and business teams to deliver trusted data
Supporting safe and sustainable delivery
This role is designed to avoid “single-point-of-failure” ways of working. You will:
- Share platform ownership with other data engineers
- Work to clearly defined scope and priorities agreed with your manager
- Be supported through peer review, collaboration, and realistic delivery timelines
- Contribute to standards, governance, and ways of working — not just reactive delivery
You’ll also have protected time for learning, development, and knowledge-sharing within your working week.
Essential
What you’ll bring
- 3+ years’ experience as a Data Engineer
- Strong SQL development skills
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake
- Experience working in Azure
- Experience designing and maintaining production data pipelines
Desirable
- Experience in regulated or data-sensitive environments (e.g. healthcare, finance)
- Familiarity with data governance, security, and privacy
- Experience working in cross-functional data or BI teams
