What's so exciting about this role?

The Data Engineering role is a multi-faceted function.

What Does An Average Day Look Like?

No day is average at humm but here’s an idea of what you can expect to do in this role:

• Partner across the business to understand data-sharing, enrichment, analytics and ML needs, and develop high‑value, reusable data products that support multiple applications.
• Engineer and optimise data pipelines, including ingestion, modelling, transformation and enrichment, using modern tools (e.g., Snowflake, ADF, DBT Cloud) to ensure performance, scalability and reliability.
• Ensure data quality, consistency and fitness for purpose by integrating data from multiple sources, understanding data lineage and authority, and applying strong governance, security and access controls.
• Design and maintain robust data architectures that enable predictive/prescriptive modelling and advanced analytics, while continuously improving platform efficiency, reliability and outcomes.
• Monitor and troubleshoot pipelines, proactively identifying issues and implementing improvements to minimise failures and performance bottlenecks.

Who will thrive in this role?

This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in cloud data engineering, data pipeline development and data modelling, particularly in a complex financial services data environment.

We’re also looking for someone who brings:

• Strong SQL skills and experience working in a modern cloud environment (Azure or AWS), including data modelling and pipeline development (must have).
• Experience with cloud‑native tools (e.g., Azure Data Factory, AWS S3/Glue, AWS DMS, DBT Cloud) and understands how to build and optimise data workflows.
• An understanding of CI/CD practices and orchestration for deploying data solutions.
• Practical experience with Python or scripting, plus good knowledge of data governance, security and best‑practice engineering.
• You’re collaborative, agile in your ways of working, and able to turn complex data requirements into scalable, reliable solutions.
• Experience in implementing data governance principles (preferred)
• Exposure to streaming tools like Kafka or Kinesis and familiarity with financial or customer analytics environments. (Nice to have)
