Senior Data Engineer - Birmingham - Hybrid - Azure - ÂŁ60,000-ÂŁ65,000
I am working with a modern, forwardâthinking organisation building a highâperforming data function. They operate like a privateâsector tech team, minimal red tape, quick decisionâmaking, and real autonomy.
As Senior Data Engineer, you will work across the full Azure data ecosystem, delivering clean, reliable data for analytics and BI while engaging directly with stakeholders across the organisation. This is a customer-facing role.
You will also mentor junior engineers, support planning and contribute to continuous improvement within a fast-evolving data team.
You will:
* Build, maintain, and optimise Azureâbased data pipelines
* Develop ETL/ELT workflows into the silver layer powering BI
* Work with ADF (critical), SQL, Azure Blob Storage, Power BI, Git & Azure DevOps
* Engage, challenge, and collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation
* Own and lead weekly project checkâins
* Mentor two junior data engineers (peer reviews, planning, work allocation, Scrum)
* Shape future architectural decisions and contribute to continuous delivery improvements
* Support the transition toward nextâgen tooling (Fabric, AWS, Snowflake under evaluation)
Benefits:
* Up to ÂŁ65,000
* Strong employer pension contribution
* 30 days annual leave + additional institutional holidays
* Very flexible working culture
* Hybrid model: 1-2 days on-site
* Opportunity to influence a replatforming project
* Forwardâthinking data culture with modern engineering practices
Key Experience
* Strong experience as a Data Engineer, ideally at senior level
* Excellent stakeholderâfacing capability
* Azure Data Factory (mustâhave)
* SQL for transformations and pipeline development
* Git & Azure DevOps (CI/CD)
* Confidence working endâtoâend across the data lifecycle
* Ability to mentor and support junior engineers
Power BI experience is beneficial but not essential, the team is considering Fabric, AWS, or Snowflake next year and takes a techâagnostic approach.
Ready to make a real impact?
This is a great chance to join a modern, growing data team where you will have ownership, influence, and longâterm progression.
