Senior Data Engineer
Location: London (flexible)
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join a growing data operations function and take a leading role in shaping data engineering standards, architecture, governance, and delivery.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to go beyond simply building pipelines. You’ll act as a technical authority for data engineering, helping to create a sustainable, scalable, and high-performing data environment while mentoring engineers and driving best practice across the function.
About You
We’re looking for someone with 6+ years' experience in data engineering or related data disciplines, including data integration, modelling, optimisation, and data quality, with proven experience delivering modern cloud data platforms.
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.
You'll ideally bring strong experience across:
- Expert SQL, including query optimisation, indexing, and performance diagnosis
- DevOps and CI/CD, release management, and environment strategy
- Azure Data Factory, including metadata-driven and parameterised pipeline design
- Azure Databricks and Spark
- Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and medallion architecture
- Extracting data from APIs, including authentication, pagination, rate limits, and schema changes
- Data governance and orchestration
- IoT and telemetry data, particularly high-volume operational data
- Understanding when to apply data engineering versus integration engineering patterns.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with complex or spatial data, as well as exposure to Databricks, Synapse, and Power BI, would also be advantageous.
Why this opportunity?
This is a role for a hands-on technical leader who enjoys improving how data engineering is done, not simply delivering individual projects.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, improve performance and automation, mentor junior talent, and help shape the future data engineering capability of a large and complex organisation.
If you're a Senior Data Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, improving efficiency, and setting the technical standard, we'd love to hear from you.
