Fully Remote (UK) | Up to £130,000 + Benefits
Build Something From The Ground Up
This is not a role maintaining legacy systems.
This is an opportunity to design, build and own a modern enterprise data platform from day one, shaping the future of data, analytics and decision-making for a fast-growing technology business operating in a highly regulated and data-rich environment.
We're looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer who thrives on creating scalable solutions, influencing technical direction and delivering genuinely business-critical outcomes. You'll be the driving force behind the evolution of a Microsoft Fabric-powered data ecosystem, working closely with senior leadership to establish architecture, engineering standards and long-term strategy.
What You'll Be Doing
Own the Data Platform
- Design and implement a modern Microsoft Fabric data platform
- Lead the journey from early-stage capability to a fully production-ready environment
- Define scalable architecture patterns across warehouse, lakehouse and analytics layers
- Make key technical decisions that balance immediate delivery with future growth
