Data Engineering AnalystHybrid – Ipswich (3 days onsite, Tuesday & Wednesday mandatory) Salary: £35,000–£50,000 (depending on experience) 

REED Technology are working with a client who have created two positions at different levels to be a key part of an exciting transition: the organisation is moving its data warehouse from Netezza to Snowflake, and building an in-house data engineering capability for the first time.

If you want to help shape a modern data platform, support critical migrations, and work closely with BI and Analytics teams to deliver high-quality data products, this role offers significant technical growth and hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

• Supporting the migration of data pipelines from Netezza to Snowflake.
• Building reliable ELT/ETL processes, API integrations, and automated workflows (Workato).
• Developing and maintaining data models that support BI and analytics use cases.
• Ensuring data quality through cleansing, validation, and testing.
• Troubleshooting data issues and ensuring consistency across datasets.
• Working closely with BI Developers, Analysts, and business teams to deliver data they can trust.
• Contributing to the establishment of new in-house data engineering standards.
• Learning from and supporting the new Data Engineering Lead, Linda.

Skills & Experience 

• Experience in data engineering, ETL/ELT development, or data warehousing.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with Snowflake, Netezza, or similar DW platforms.
• Understanding of data modelling and pipeline design.
• Ability to articulate technical concepts clearly.
• A collaborative approach—this team values people who work with others, not in isolation.

Desirable

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Hands-on Workato experience or related automation tools.
• Python for data transformation tasks.
• Exposure to Pyramid Analytics, Power BI, or other visualisation tools.
• Experience working in agile environments. 

You’ll help build a new in-house data engineering capability as outsourcing is phased out - You’ll play a key role in a strategic Snowflake migration project. You’ll collaborate closely with a newly restructured analytics team working toward a unified data-driven strategy.
