Are you a skilled Data Engineer looking to make a real impact in a world-renowned cultural institution? We're working with a prestigious organisation undergoing a major digital and data transformation - and they're looking for a hands-on Data Engineer to help build the foundations of their future data estate.

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-impact transformation programme at a pivotal moment. You'll play a key role in designing and building robust, scalable data pipelines that bring together data from across the organisation - including CRM, HR, Finance, and Commercial systems - into clean, trusted, and AI-ready datasets.

You'll be part of a growing data team, working closely with architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to unlock insights and enable innovation.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design and build robust, automated data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Synapse, dbt, and Databricks.
• Integrate data from enterprise systems (e.g. Dynamics, iTrent, Unit4) into a unified data platform.
• Cleanse, transform, and model data to support BI tools (e.g., Power BI) and AI/ML use cases.
• Implement data validation, lineage tracking, and metadata tagging for observability and trust.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to standardise KPIs and support cross-functional reporting.
• Ensure secure handling of sensitive data in line with GDPR and internal policies.

What We're Looking For:

• Solid experience in data engineering or backend data development.
• Strong experience with Azure data services (e.g., Data Factory, Dake Lake, Synapse, Databricks) and tools like dbt.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python, with a solid understanding of data modelling and transformation.
• Experience integrating data from enterprise systems (CRM, ERP, HRIS).
• Familiarity with DevOps practices (CI/CD, version control, monitoring) in a data context.

What's On Offer:

• A salary of up to £62,000 depending on experience
• 29 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• A generous pension scheme

This is more than just a technical role - it's a chance to help shape the data future of a globally respected institution. If you're passionate about building high-quality data pipelines and enabling insight through clean, trusted data, we'd love to hear from you.
