Job Description

Data Engineering AnalystHybrid - Ipswich (3 days onsite, Tuesday & Wednesday mandatory)Salary: £35,000-£50,000 (depending on experience)

REED Technology are working with a client who have created two positions at different levels to be a key part of an exciting transition: the organisation is moving its data warehouse from Netezza to Snowflake, and building an in-house data engineering capability for the first time.

If you want to help shape a modern data platform, support critical migrations, and work closely with BI and Analytics teams to deliver high-quality data products, this role offers significant technical growth and hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

  • Supporting the migration of data pipelines from Netezza to Snowflake.
  • Building reliable ELT/ETL processes, API integrations, and automated workflows (Workato).
  • Developing and maintaining data models that support BI and analytics use cases.
  • Ensuring data quality through cleansing, validation, and testing.
  • Troubleshooting data issues and ensuring consistency across datasets.
  • Working closely with BI Developers, Analysts, and business teams to deliver data they can trust.
  • Contributing to the establishment of new in-house data engineering standards.
  • Learning from and supporting the new Data Engineering Lead, Linda.

Skills & Experience

  • Experience in data engineering, ETL/ELT development, or data warehousing.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with Snowflake, Netezza, or similar DW platforms.
  • Understanding of data modelling and pipeline design.
  • Ability to articulate technical concepts clearly.
  • A collaborative approach-this team values people who work with others, not in isolation.

Desirable

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Hands-on Workato experience or related automation tools.
  • Python for data transformation tasks.
  • Exposure to Pyramid Analytics, Power BI, or other visualisation tools.
  • Experience working in agile environments.

You'll help build a new in-house data engineering capability as outsourcing is phased out - You'll play a key role in a strategic Snowflake migration project. You'll collaborate closely with a newly restructured analytics team working toward a unified data-driven strategy.
