Help Build the Future of Data at Trustmarque Ultima
Following the merger of Trustmarque and Ultima, we’ve created one of the UK’s most exciting technology businesses, bringing together over 1,400 talented people and a broad portfolio of cloud, AI, cyber security, digital transformation and managed services capabilities.
As we continue our ambitious growth journey, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to help evolve and optimise our data platform, building scalable, reliable solutions that enable better use of data across our business.
If you’re passionate about modern data engineering, Microsoft Fabric and turning complex or fragmented data processes into robust, automated solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Data, you’ll play a key role in the evolution of our data platform, designing and building scalable data pipelines and infrastructure using modern cloud technologies.
A major focus will be developing ELT/ETL pipelines within Microsoft Fabric, while helping modernise legacy and spreadsheet-driven processes into automated, governed and repeatable data workflows.
You’ll work closely with stakeholders and teams across the business to understand requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions, while ensuring data quality, governance, security and performance remain at the heart of everything we build.
As a senior member of the team, you’ll also provide technical leadership and mentorship to other Data Engineers and help establish engineering best practice across our data environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and build scalable ELT/ETL pipelines in Microsoft Fabric.
- Help evolve and optimise our data warehouse architecture to support scalability and performance.
- Re-engineer legacy, manual and spreadsheet-driven data processes into automated and governed workflows.
- Design and optimise robust data models aligned to analytics and BI requirements.
- Implement and maintain strong data governance, including data quality, validation, lineage, access controls and security.
- Embed data reliability practices including automated testing, monitoring and observability.
- Establish and promote engineering best practice across CI/CD, version control, DevOps and environment management.
- Monitor and optimise platform performance, query efficiency and cloud costs.
- Partner with senior stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions that deliver measurable value.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to Data Engineers.
- Maintain clear technical documentation across data architectures, pipelines, transformations and lineage.
- Keep up to date with emerging data technologies and identify opportunities to continuously improve our platform.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
