The Opportunity

We're looking for a Data Engineer to join a growing financial services organisation in the North West, helping to build and develop its modern Microsoft Fabric data platform.

This role will be ideal for someone who enjoys getting stuck into complex data challenges, building production-ready pipelines and working with modern Microsoft technologies. You'll be helping turn raw data into something the wider business can genuinely use, trust and get value from.

Key Responsibilities

• Building and maintaining data pipelines using Microsoft Fabric - including Data Pipelines, Notebooks and Dataflows Gen2.
• Developing and optimising Lakehouse and Warehouse solutions within Fabric.
• Using SQL and PySpark to ingest, transform and model data.
• Working with medallion architecture across Landing, Curated and Enriched data layers.
• Bringing together data from different sources, including Snowflake, SQL Server, APIs and file-based systems.
• Improving pipeline performance, reliability, scalability and cost efficiency.
• Using Git, Azure DevOps and CI/CD to manage and deploy changes.
• Helping maintain data quality, testing, documentation and governance.
• Working closely with BI, analytics and business teams to deliver trusted, business-ready data.

About You

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining production-ready ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Commercial experience with Microsoft Fabric, ideally across Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Pipelines and Notebooks.
• Strong SQL skills, alongside experience using Python and PySpark for data transformation.
• A good understanding of data modelling, medallion architecture and modern cloud data platforms.
• Experience bringing data together from different sources, including relational databases and APIs.
• Familiarity with Azure services, particularly Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake Storage and Azure SQL.
• Experience with Git, Azure DevOps, CI/CD and version control.
• An understanding of data quality, testing, monitoring and supporting live data environments.
• Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems and is always looking for ways to improve how things are done.

Why This Role?

• Get hands-on with Microsoft Fabric and modern Azure technologies.
• Work on an evolving data platform with plenty of opportunity to make an impact.
• Build solutions that support real business decisions, rather than just moving data from A to B.
• Take ownership of projects from initial development through to deployment.
• Work alongside teams across BI, analytics, governance and data products.
• Be part of a business investing in its data capabilities and the value it can get from them.

If you're a Data Engineer who enjoys building reliable pipelines, working with Microsoft Fabric and Azure and creating data solutions that people can genuinely trust and get value from, we'd love to hear from you.
