Senior Databricks Data Engineer | Global Real Estate Investment | Contract
Marks Sattin is partnering with a global real estate investment and asset management organisation undergoing a significant transformation of its data estate. As part of a wider modernisation programme, the business is migrating critical real estate data capabilities from legacy SQL Server environments into a modern Databricks platform, creating a more scalable, governed and future-ready foundation for analytics, reporting and investment decision-making.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of a business-critical data platform used across real estate equity and debt operations. Working within the Real Estate Technology team, you'll collaborate with business, finance and technology stakeholders to modernise data models, rationalise legacy processes and establish best-practice data engineering standards that will support the organisation for years to come.
What You'll Do
- Lead the assessment and modernisation of legacy SQL Server, ETL and reporting workloads into a Databricks-based architecture.
- Design scalable data models, Delta Lake structures and transformation pipelines supporting real estate investment data.
- Analyse data lineage, dependencies, business logic and data quality to determine what should be migrated, redesigned or retired.
- Build robust reconciliation, monitoring and governance controls to ensure accuracy, auditability and operational resilience.
- Partner closely with investment, finance and technology teams to deliver a phased migration strategy aligned to business objectives.

- Strong understanding of production-grade data platforms, performance optimisation and operational support.
- Experience migrating SSIS, ETL pipelines, stored procedures and reporting solutions to cloud-based platforms.
