Senior Database & ETL Engineer
Bradford | Hybrid Working (2 days a week in the office)
Competitive Salary + Benefits + OOH Allowance
Exalto Consulting is partnering with a well-established organisation that operates at significant scale and relies on robust, high-performing data platforms to support critical business services. As they continue to modernise their technology estate and evolve their data capabilities, they are looking to appoint a Senior Database & ETL Engineer to join their team.
This is an opportunity for an experienced database professional who enjoys balancing operational database ownership with hands-on engineering and data integration work. You'll play a key role in ensuring business-critical platforms remain secure, resilient, performant, and available, while also contributing to the ongoing development of data pipelines and platform improvements.
You'll be responsible for the administration, support, optimisation, and ongoing development of the organisation's database estate, with a particular focus on Microsoft SQL Server and Teradata environments. Alongside this, you'll design and support ETL and data integration solutions that enable reliable movement of data across operational, reporting, analytics, and warehouse platforms.
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.
