Job Description:
Would you like to be part of a growing engineering capability in a people-centric organisation? Or perhaps work in an open and collaborative learning environment? Are you passionate about technology, people and developing your coding skills? We have got all this and more. Whatever your aspirations, we’re looking for engineers to be part of an exceptional technology capability, providing dedicated engineering capacity for our clients.
At Credera, we work with a range of clients and help them to level-up their engineering capabilities in a partnership model. Through our Delivery Centre, we help them build microservices architectures, develop AI and machine learning capabilities and operate cloud infrastructure. As part of the Delivery Centre team, you’ll collaborate with architects, technology consultants and client stakeholders, giving you a chance to hone your skills across the latest technologies, development and operational practices, and cloud platforms, whilst growing your career. The central hub for this position is in Newcastle, but we welcome applicants from across the North-East. To meet our client's needs, you will need to be security clearable.
How you will be expected to work
As a Senior Data Engineer in Credera’s Delivery Centre capability, you’ll work as part of a close-knit team supporting one of our long-term client partnerships alongside architects, support engineers, and delivery leaders. Building on Credera’s reputation for engineering excellence, you’ll draw on broad delivery experience to optimise team outcomes and act as a recognised technical leader.
As a senior delivery centre engineer you will lead significant areas of delivery or multiple workstreams with minimal supervision, working closely with client directors and delivery leads. You’ll lead multiple teams or pods, act as the primary escalation point for delivery and operational matters, and coach and mentor more junior engineers. You’ll be expected to be transparent, act with humility and collaborate well, setting standards for the wider team and continuously improving how delivery is done.
Requirements
You’ll have:
- The ability to work collaboratively and build strong relationships across delivery teams, leadership and stakeholders, influencing decision-making and managing expectations
- Experience of back-end / data engineering across a number of languages (including Python), and commonly used IDE’s
- Experience with developing, scheduling, maintaining and resolving issues with batch or micro-batch jobs on AWS ETL or Azure ETL services
- Experience querying data stored on AWS S3, or through a Lakehouse capability
- Experience in managing API-level and Database connectivity
- Experience using source control and DevOps tooling such as Gitlab
- Experience in use of terraform (or similar cloud native products) to build new data & analytics platform capabilities
- Experience supporting live service within a standard Service Management environment
- Proven experience leading significant areas of delivery or multiple workstreams to time, cost and quality with minimal supervision
- Experience leading multiple teams or pods and acting as the primary escalation point for delivery and operational matters
- A track record of continuously evaluating and improving delivery processes to drive efficiency, quality and team capability
- The ability to anticipate and mitigate delivery risks, addressing ambiguity through structured analysis to ensure delivery continuity and stability
- Recognition as a subject matter expert or trusted operational lead, leveraging your internal network to connect teams with the right expertise and resources
