Are you a Senior Data Engineer who wants to help build a Microsoft Fabric platform from the ground up?
This Housing Association in Leeds is investing heavily in its data capability, with a clear move towards a modern Azure-based platform centred around Microsoft Fabric. The foundation of modern Microsoft tooling is there, but now they need someone to lead the greenfield move.
As Senior Data Engineer, you’ll build data systems and lead on designing and building the pipelines, standards, and structures that will underpin how data works across the business. You’ll also take technical direction from architecture and turn it into scalable, working solutions from an engineering perspective.
It’s a great role for someone who enjoys being hands-on but also wants to step into a position where they influence how a data platform is designed and built, not just delivered against.
As Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be working on:
- Designing and building data pipelines
- Building into a Microsoft Fabric data platform
- Designing lakehouse structures and supporting modern data architecture approaches
- Driving best practice across CI/CD, testing, and automation
- Supporting cloud migration and the move towards a Fabric environment
- Collaborating with stakeholders to define requirements and deliver solutions
- Mentoring developers and helping improve engineering standards
- Acting as a technical escalation point for complex data issues
