Overview

Senior Data Engineer (AWS ETL SQL) Manchester / WFH to £110k

Are you a data technologist who enjoys taking ownership? You could be progressing your career in a senior, hands-on Data Engineer role at a technology start-up that is producing a software suite for legal firms that massively reduces para-legal workloads. They have seen huge interest in the product and have a lot of greenfield development work to get stuck into.

As a Senior Data Engineer you will take ownership of the data platform, optimising it for scalability to ensure successful client onboarding. You'll use modern tools (such as Airflow, Prefect, Dagster or AWS Step Functions) for ETL design and orchestration, work on transformation logic to clean, validate and enrich data (including handling missing values, standardising formats and duplication), use Redshift for efficient loading strategies and write ETL pipelines that handle large volumes of data efficiently, with low latency.

Location / WFH: You'll join a small but growing team based in Central Manchester three days a week with flexibility to work from home the other two days.
