Senior Data Engineer | £600 per day Outside IR35 | 6 Month Contract

A PE-backed asset/wealth management firm managing multi-billion pounds in assets is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design and deliver a new Azure-based data warehouse.

The organisation is replacing a non-performant “data swamp” with a well-structured, governed platform built on Azure. You will lead the end-to-end architecture and take a hands-on role building a robust data platform from ingestion through to consumption.

Tech Environment:

Azure Data Lake Storage
Azure Synapse
Medallion Architecture
ETL / data ingestion pipelines
Dimensional modelling
Strong governance, security, and error handling

Ideal Experience:

Azure-based data platform architecture
End-to-end data warehouse design and delivery
Data governance and platform reliability
Asset management / wealth management / financial data environments

Key Information:

£600 per day Outside IR35
Hybrid – London (2 days per week)
6 month project
Start: End of March
One stage interview process

This role requires someone comfortable making architectural decisions across the full data stack rather than operating within a single silo. You will work closely with the CTO and help shape the foundations of the company’s modern data platform, with additional hires planned to support delivery.

Due to high application volumes, not all submissions will receive feedback.
