Job Title : Senior Data Platform Engineer

Job Location : Guildford Business Park Guildford Surrey GU2 8XG ( Remote with occasional office visit)

Job Type: FTE/Contract (Initially with 6 months)

Job Description:

Overall Objectives of the Job

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Senior Data / Platform Engineer to join our Data & Analytics team. This hybrid role combines hands-on data engineering on Databricks and Azure Synapse with platform administration responsibilities across our cloud data estate. The role holder will design, build, and operate scalable data pipelines while also maintaining the underlying Azure platform including infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), CI/CD automation, monitoring, security, and Databricks workspace administration. The ideal candidate combines strong Python/PySpark engineering skills with deep Azure platform knowledge and a service-excellence mindset, ensuring the Data Technology platform remains secure, reliable, and aligned to standards.

Duties and Responsibilities

Lead solution design activities, collaborating with peers and mentoring junior colleagues to define and execute the team backlog.
Develop, test, and document scalable ETL/ELT data pipelines and workflows using Databricks and Azure Synapse to ingest and transform data from a variety of sources.
Administer and maintain Azure data platform components including Synapse, Databricks, ADLS Gen2, Key Vault, networking (VNets, NSGs, Managed Private Endpoints) and access control (RBAC, ACLs).
Manage infrastructure-as-code across Dev, Staging, and Production environments using Pulumi (and equivalents such as Terraform / Bicep).
Design and operate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (with OIDC federation) and/or Azure DevOps, supporting trunk-based development practices.
Administer Databricks workspaces cluster policies, Secret Scopes, Repos/Git integration, Workflow job health, and Unity Catalog governance.
Monitor platform and pipeline health using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, KQL, and Azure Dashboards; triage and resolve incidents.
Implement robust data security and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations; manage service principals, Managed Identities, and least-privilege access.
Carry out routine platform operations: patching, backups, storage lifecycle, tagging, access reviews, DR readiness, and runbook execution.
Identify and address performance bottlenecks and data quality issues to ensure data accuracy and reliability.
Work with testers to ensure automated test plans are in place and agree test packs for UAT; review peers' work and take accountability for the quality of squad deliverables.
Collaborate with stakeholders and analysts to understand data requirements and deliver clean, reliable, accessible data.
Ensure solution designs align with the Client Data Technology Strategy, maintaining and enhancing Client standards and Service Excellence.
Maintain technical documentation to Client standards (e.g., Grimlock) and stay current with industry trends, driving continuous improvement and innovation.

Qualification, Experience, Technical and Functional Skills

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, with 610 years of relevant experience in data engineering and Azure platform administration.

Must Have
