Senior Data Engineer – Azure / Databricks
Location: London
Working pattern: Hybrid – 3 days per week in Central London.
Salary: Up to £100,000 + package
We’re working with a large, established organisation that is investing heavily in its data capability and is looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join a growing London-based team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who still enjoys being hands-on technically but wants to have a bigger influence on the people and engineering around them.
You won’t be stepping away from engineering into management. Instead, you’ll act as a senior technical presence within the team—helping shape solutions, mentoring other engineers, improving standards, and working closely with the wider data leadership team.
You’ll work across the design and delivery of modern cloud-based data solutions, taking data from a variety of sources and transforming it into reliable, well-structured datasets used across reporting, analytics, and emerging AI/ML use cases.
Alongside being hands-on, you'll help raise the engineering bar across the team through technical guidance, mentoring, code reviews, and input into how solutions are designed and delivered. The environment is heavily focused on Azure and Databricks, with good software engineering and DevOps principles sitting at the heart of the team's approach.
