Role description
Senior Data Engineer / Modeller | London | Outside IR35 | £400 - £500 | Hybrid
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working across the full data lifecycle — from designing scalable platforms and pipelines to shaping well-structured data models that drive meaningful business insight.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Designing and delivering robust data models (conceptual, logical, dimensional) for analytics and reporting
• Building and optimising data platforms and ETL/ELT pipelines in cloud environments
• Ingesting and integrating data from various sources (APIs, databases, flat files)
• Translating business needs into scalable, maintainable data solutions
• Applying best practices across data governance, quality, and security
• Working directly with clients, explaining technical concepts in a clear, accessible way
• Supporting junior team members and contributing to knowledge sharingRequirements
• Around 5 experience in data engineering or data consultancy
• Strong experience with data modelling, ideally dimensional (e.g. Kimball)
• Proven ability to design solutions that support analytics and decision-making
• Solid coding skills in SQL and Python (Spark/SQL variants beneficial)
• Experience with cloud data platforms (Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar)
• Understanding of modern data architectures (e.g. medallion/lakehouse approaches)
• Exposure to Agile delivery and collaborative, cross-functional teams
• Confident communicator with strong stakeholder engagement skills
If this is a role that suits your skillset, you can work to a hybrid model in London and available within 2 weeks then apply for the role directly or send me your CV to .
