Data Platform Engineer

£70,000 – £75,000 + 10% bonus + excellent benefits

We're looking for ahands-on Data Platform Engineer who enjoys getting stuck into infrastructure, automation and platform engineering.

This isn't a traditional Data Engineering role where you'll spend your time building data pipelines or applications.

Instead, you'll be working on theplatform underneath the data, helping manage and evolve a complexSnowflake and Azure ecosystem, building self-service capabilities and automating the way teams provision and use the platform.

The team is increasingly moving towards aDevOps / platform engineering model, so we're looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, improving things and getting hands-on.

• Managing and developing theSnowflake platform and wider data platform ecosystem.
• Buildingself-service capabilities that make life easier for engineering and data teams.
• Designing and maintainingTerraform Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Automating platform provisioning and operational processes.
• Building and maintainingCI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
• Working withAzure data services, including Data Factory, Storage/Data Lake and emerging AI services.
• Improving platform reliability, monitoring and observability.
• Troubleshooting infrastructure and platform issues.
• Working closely with engineers, architects and data teams to improve the platform.
• Helping drive engineering standards and best practice from within the team.

We're looking for someone who isgenuinely hands-on and enjoys being close to the technology.

You'll ideally have:

• Around3+ years' experience in Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure or Data Platform Engineering.
• StrongTerraform / Infrastructure-as-Code experience — we're looking for someone who really knows their Terraform.
• Strong hands-onAzure experience.
• Around1–2+ years of Snowflake experience, ideally working with theplatform itself rather than simply developing applications on Snowflake.
• Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling.
• Experience with Azure data services such asData Factory and Azure Storage/Data Lake.
• Scripting experience withPython, PowerShell or Bash.
• A genuine interest inautomation, self-service and DevOps.
• A relevantHashiCorp Terraform certification would be great, but strong demonstrable Terraform expertise is equally important.

You don't need to be a manager or have a big leadership background.

We're much more interested in someone who is asolid hands-on engineer who likes getting into the detail, figuring things out and improving how things work.

If you're a Snowflake administrator who has strong development/IaC skills, a DevOps engineer moving into data platforms, or a Data Engineer who has developed a strong platform engineering skillset, we'd be interested in speaking with you.

There's plenty of opportunity tolearn and develop.
