The role

Data Engineer / Architect | 6-Month Contract | Outside IR35 | £550-£650/day | Hybrid (London)

I'm currently recruiting for a Data Engineer / Architect to support a large-scale data transformation programme, with a particular focus on designing and migrating data pipelines from legacy platforms into a modern cloud-based data environment.

This role would suit someone who is hands-on enough to understand how data engineering solutions are delivered, but who also has the architectural capability to define target-state designs, migration approaches, and best practice across the wider programme.

You'll be working closely with technical and business stakeholders to assess the current data landscape, design future-state data solutions, and create scalable migration strategies for a large number of existing data pipelines. A key part of the role will involve translating business and technical requirements into robust, efficient and maintainable data architectures.

The organisation is currently modernising its data platform and moving towards a Microsoft-centric data ecosystem, so experience designing and delivering cloud-based data solutions within Azure environments is highly desirable. Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks or similar modern data platforms would be beneficial.

Key Skills & Experience

This is an excellent opportunity to join a major transformation programme where you'll play a key role in shaping the future data platform and defining the migration approach for a significant portfolio of existing data assets and pipelines.

If this is of interest, please apply with your most up-to-date CV and I'll give you a call if you look like a good fit.
