Role Overview
We are looking for a senior Snowflake Data Engineer to lead the migration from a bespoke AWS data platform to a modern Snowflake Lakehouse.

You will be working across Lambda, Glue, and Step Functions pipelines, moving transformations into dbt Core, and shaping the future architecture across orchestration, security, and cost control.
Essential Skills
• Strong Snowflake experience (Lakehouse design, RBAC, security, cost optimisation)
• Deep dbt Core expertise (modelling, testing, macros, SCDs, incremental models)
• Solid dimensional modelling (Kimball – star schemas, facts/dimensions)
• Advanced SQL
• Orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster or similar)
Bonus Points
• AWS (Lambda, Glue, Step Functions)
• Workato or similar iPaaS tools
• Python / Snowpark
• Data governance / cataloguing
This is an Outside IR35 contract role and hybrid to Edinburgh. Very strong chances of extension and for a leading product company.
