🏢 Insurance | AWS and Databricks data platform
📅 6 months, strong scope for extension
A major insurance business is scaling up its data platform and needs an experienced data engineer who can build across AWS and Databricks, work comfortably with Informatica, and design data models that hold up as the estate grows. Plenty of build work, a broad stack, and a business area that actually uses what you deliver.

- Build and maintain end to end data solutions across AWS, Databricks, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB
- Develop ETL and ELT pipelines in Informatica and cloud native services
- Design conceptual, logical, and physical data models to support insurance business functions
- Work across data warehouse, data lake, and lakehouse layers feeding reporting, analytics, AI/ML, and regulatory outputs
- Design JSON and XSD schemas and integrate via APIs, Kafka, and MQ
- Apply enterprise data standards and canonical models so what you build stays consistent and reusable
- Work directly with business stakeholders and architects to turn requirements into working data solutions
