Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer

£80,000–£85,000 + Generous bonus scheme

Hybrid (London) | Permanent

I'm working with a growing specialist insurance business that's looking to bring in a Senior Data Engineer to support its expanding data team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on technically but also wants to work closely with the business, understand its challenges and have a real say in how data is used.

The team is small, so you'll have plenty of exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to make a genuine difference.

They're currently rebuilding their Databricks platform and moving their reporting from AWS QuickSight to Power BI, so there's plenty to get involved in.

What will you be doing?

• Building and improving data pipelines.
• Working with Databricks to improve the existing data platform.
• Getting hands-on with data transformation and modelling.
• Using Python, SQL and PySpark to deliver data solutions.
• Supporting the migration from QuickSight to Power BI.
• Working closely with teams across Finance, Pricing, Regulatory and Compliance.
• Helping the business understand what it needs from its data and turning that into practical solutions.

What are they looking for?

Someone with solid experience in Python, SQL and Databricks, who understands data pipelines and modelling and is comfortable working across the data engineering lifecycle.

Just as importantly, they want someone who can communicate well, take ownership and isn't afraid to roll their sleeves up.

You'll need to be comfortable working in a small team where everyone gets involved and priorities can change.

Insurance experience would be useful, as would any Power BI, AWS and PySpark experience.

What's on offer?

• £80,000–£85,000 salary.
• Generous bonus scheme
• 25 days' holiday, increasing to 30 with length of service.
• Hybrid working, with around one day a week in the London office
• The option to work abroad at set times during the year.
• Life insurance and death-in-service cover.

The business has ambitious growth plans and this role gives you the chance to help shape its data function rather than simply maintain what's already there.

If you're a Senior Data Engineer who enjoys a mix of technical work and business interaction, I'd be keen to have a chat.
