Build the Platform That Powers Data
We’re hiring a Senior Data Platform Engineer to help design and operate a secure, scalable enterprise data platform supporting advanced analytics and business intelligence.

Important: This is fundamentally a Platform Engineering role. 

You’ll focus on infrastructure, automation, and platform reliability, rather than building data pipelines.

We do welcome candidates from data engineering backgrounds—provided you bring strong platform engineering experience, particularly with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform), CI/CD, and cloud platform design.

  What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and delivering robust, automated Azure & Snowflake platform components
• Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across environments
• Creating and optimising CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)
• Implementing observability practices (logging, monitoring, alerting)
• Ensuring platform security, scalability, and performance
• Collaborating with architects and senior engineers on platform standards
• Mentoring engineers and promoting engineering best practices

• Strong experience in Platform Engineering (not just data pipeline development)
• Expertise in Azure-based environments and/or Snowflake
• Hands-on experience with Terraform or similar IaC tooling
• Proven ability to build and manage CI/CD pipelines
• Solid understanding of cloud security and observability
• Scripting skills (PowerShell, Bash, Python)
• Strong communicator with experience working across teams

• Platform Engineers working in data environments
• DevOps/Platform Engineers with exposure to data platforms
• Data Engineers who have moved into platform, IaC, or DevOps-focused roles

• £90,000 10% bonus
• Hybrid working (Manchester or London)
• High-impact role in a mission-driven setting
• Opportunity to shape and influence a modern data platform
• Strong engineering culture with a focus on automation and best practice
