Data Engineer (Snowflake / dbt) – Fully Remote, UK

Fully remote (UK-based)

£50,000 – £80,000 (Mid or Senior considered) + profit share + benefits

A high-growth technology business is hiring a Data Engineer to help rebuild its data platform from the ground up. The company has recently secured major investment and is scaling fast, and works with some of the biggest names in its industry. This is a chance to come in early, shape how things are built, and put your stamp on the role.

The data function has just been restructured. Right now there is a BI Analyst in seat, and you would join as the first dedicated Data Engineer, working alongside them to turn a messy data estate into something reliable, well-governed and useful to the business. The platform has moved onto Snowflake, so strong Snowflake experience is essential.

You will own the core of the data platform and have real influence over its direction. As the team grows, there is a clear path to progress, and you can choose to stay deeply hands-on or move toward leadership later. They are flexible on which.

The role

• Rebuild and own the core data platform, taking it from messy to dependable
• Design and maintain ELT pipelines and transformation layers the wider business can trust
• Tune Snowflake for performance and keep warehouse costs under control
• Build dbt models and keep their documentation accurate and usable
• Keep ingestion healthy by chasing down broken connectors, schema drift and pipeline failures before they cause problems
• Feed clean, reliable datasets into BI and reporting tools
• Partner with Finance and commercial teams on revenue, margin and P&L reporting
• Raise the bar on data quality, governance, observability and consistent metrics

Ideal experience

• Hands-on Snowflake experience (this one is non-negotiable)
• Strong dbt, advanced SQL and production-grade Python
• A track record building and maintaining ELT and ingestion pipelines
• Comfortable working on cloud infrastructure, AWS preferred
• Confident working directly with business stakeholders and owning problems end to end

This role is fully remote within the UK, with occasional team get-togethers. On top of base salary there is a profit share scheme paid twice a year (recently tracking 15–20%), with a share scheme planned further down the line. The salary range spans levels, so the offer will reflect your experience.

If you want to build something properly rather than maintain someone else's mess, get in touch.
