About the role
Contract Data Engineer
Remote (Letchworth office as needed)
3 Month Contract + Possible Extensions
£400 - £500 per day
This Contract Data Engineer role joins a well-established UK group, with several businesses under one roof, partway through building its Azure data platform.
You’ll work alongside a small team of data engineers and own work end to end: talking to stakeholders, designing models, building and testing pipelines in Python and PySpark, and supporting BI. It’s remote, and the platform is growing from one business to the whole group, so there’s real work to get stuck into from day one.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Gathering requirements with data, product and senior stakeholders, and helping them with data-related technical issues
- Designing conceptual, logical and physical data models as the platform expands
- Building metadata-driven pipelines across Azure Synapse, Data Factory and PostgreSQL using Python and PySpark
- Migrating data from legacy reporting solutions onto the platform while protecting data integrity
- Releasing code through Azure DevOps and Git, and keeping documentation and data mapping up to date
- Monitoring and tuning data loads, supporting BI users, and joining an out-of-hours rota for business-critical issues
What You’ll Bring
- Hands-on experience as a Data Engineer, building and maintaining data pipelines
- Strong Python and PySpark skills
- Experience with Azure data services such as Synapse, Databricks or Data Factory
- Good SQL and data modelling skills
- Confidence working with stakeholders to turn business needs into data solutions
Desirable: Microsoft Fabric, Tableau administration, Power BI, master data management (MDM), CI/CD with Azure DevOps
