Data Engineering Lead

Data Engineering Lead / York (hybrid) / 75k- 90k

We're hiring a Data Engineering Lead to take ownership of a growing Azure-based data platform, working as part of a small, high-impact team.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on building, improving, and stabilising data pipelines and architecture - while also supporting a broader BI environment.

What do we need from you?

• Strong experience with Azure Data Factory and the Microsoft data stack
• Solid SQL and Python skills
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines and integrations
• Ability to work in a hands-on, delivery-focused role
• Comfortable operating in a small team with high ownership
• Understanding of modern data platforms (Fabric exposure desirable)

Role overview

You'll take ownership of the data engineering layer, responsible for ingesting and transforming data from multiple sources into a large-scale reporting environment.

The platform currently combines:

• Azure Data Factory pipelines
• A large Power BI estate
• A legacy warehouse (partially outsourced)

There is a clear roadmap toward modernisation and migration (Fabric), and you'll play a key role in shaping that journey.

Key focus areas

• Build and maintain robust data pipelines
• Manage data ingestion from multiple sources
• Support and optimise data flows feeding Power BI
• Work closely with BI and business teams to deliver data solutions
• Improve platform stability, performance, and scalability
• Contribute to future platform modernisation and migration
• Help reduce reliance on legacy and outsourced components

Why join?

• High ownership in a small, agile team
• Opportunity to work across engineering and platform design
• Involvement in a major platform transformation (Fabric)
• Real impact on business-critical data systems
• A role where you'll build, fix, and improve - not just maintain
