Senior Data Engineer

Camden Town Source: WhatJobs

£85,000–£95,000

Salary: £85,000 - £95,000 + discretionary stretch bonus of up to 35%

I'm working with an established, commercially successful business that's investing in a significant modernisation of its data platform, moving from Azure Synapse to Microsoft Fabric.

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on Senior Data Engineer who wants to take genuine ownership of a data platform, influence its future direction and play a key role in building a more scalable, governed and modern data environment.

The business already has a well-established Azure data estate, so this isn't about starting from scratch. The challenge is to evolve what's there, introduce stronger engineering practices and help deliver a successful migration to Microsoft Fabric without disrupting existing business-critical data services.

What you'll be doing:

Taking ownership of existing Azure data pipelines and supporting the migration from Synapse to Microsoft Fabric.
Working closely with an incoming Platform Architect to establish engineering best practices, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code and robust development environments.
Improving data governance, quality, monitoring and the overall reliability of the platform.
Balancing ongoing data engineering and operational responsibilities with a major platform transformation.
Helping shape the technical direction of the data platform, with opportunities to support and mentor additional engineers as the team grows.

What I'm looking for:

Strong hands-on data engineering experience across the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, particularly Azure Synapse, ADF and SQL.
Commercial exposure to Microsoft Fabric. You don't need to have spent years working exclusively with it.
Experience delivering data platform migrations, ideally including parallel running, testing and validation.
Experience with CI/CD, Git and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep).
A collaborative, pragmatic engineer who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership and working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why is this interesting?

You'll be joining at a pivotal point in the business's data journey, with the chance to take long-term ownership of the platform and work alongside experienced specialists to establish modern engineering standards.

It's a role offering a genuine mix of hands-on delivery, technical influence and longer-term platform development.

If you're a strong Azure Data Engineer who's been building experience with Microsoft Fabric and wants an opportunity with real ownership and influence, I'd be keen to have a conversation.

Drop me a message or get in touch to find out more.
