Start 2027 with a hands-on data engineering contract spanning ETL development, data virtualisation and cloud databases.

Synergize Consulting is seeking a Data Engineer to support renewed build activity on the Data Extract for Exploitation project within the ITDE programme.

Your contract at a glance

• Duration: 6 months.

• Start: Early January 2027.

• Location: Telford, with 2 days per week in the office.

• Clearance: BPSS accepted to start; SC processing will follow after joining.

The opportunity

This role offers involvement throughout the development life cycle. You'll build Talend jobs, create Denodo virtualisation views, develop Oracle database artefacts and enhance GitLab pipelines, then help take those changes through testing and into production.

Working alongside a Lead Engineer and QA colleagues, you'll also review development work, troubleshoot defects and share your knowledge with junior engineers.

What you'll be doing

• Developing Talend jobs, Denodo views, Oracle DDL and SQL.

• Enhancing GitLab pipelines to support delivery.

• Performing component testing, including creating test data and automated test packs.

• Investigating and resolving defects throughout the development life cycle.

• Supporting QA teams with testing and debugging.

• Reviewing colleagues' development and test artefacts.

• Supporting performance testing, production deployment and post-release warranty activities.

• Providing guidance to colleagues and mentoring junior engineers.

• Reporting progress to the Lead Engineer and contributing to delivery discussions.

What you'll bring

• ETL development experience, ideally with Talend. Relevant Pentaho or Informatica experience may also be transferable.

• Experience with Denodo and data virtualisation.

• Hands-on experience with Oracle RDS, SQL and database development.

• Experience working within AWS environments.

• A thorough approach to testing, troubleshooting and code review.

• The ability to collaborate effectively and support less experienced engineers.

Why apply?

You'll combine practical build work with the opportunity to improve automation, support production delivery and contribute across several complementary data technologies. With an early January start and BPSS onboarding available, this is an opportunity for experienced engineers who also want to pursue SC clearance.
