Overview

Senior Snowflake Data Engineer

London/Hybrid

circa £90,000 + bonus + benefits

We're helping an insurance client build a state-of-the-art analytics platform on Azure with Snowflake and dbt at its core. You'll join a growing engineering team to deliver high-quality, reliable data products that power decision-making across the business.

The opportunity

  • Work within an Azure estate with Snowflake layered on top; dbt drives transformations and modelling.

  • Architecture and patterns are defined by an established architectural community; your focus is implementation excellence -shipping robust pipelines, models and tests at pace.

  • Collaborate with Data Architects and peers to embed modern engineering standards (CI/CD, testing, code review, lineage/quality).

  • Contribute to a UK-led blueprint that will inform global adoption over time.

What you'll do

  • Build and evolve batch/stream ingestion, transformations (dbt), data models and marts in Snowflake.

  • Own delivery end-to-end: requirements > build > test > release > monitor, with clear accountability for outcomes.

  • Optimise performance and cost (warehouse sizing, query tuning, job orchestration).

  • Implement data quality, lineage and governance controls in line with enterprise standards.

  • Partner with BI and product teams to enable trustworthy, self-serve analytics.

What we're looking for

  • Through-and-through Data Engineer with 4-5+ years of hands-on experience delivering production data solutions.

  • Proven ownership: you didn’t just sit with a team - you drove delivery and held responsibility for outcomes.

  • Strong skills in SQL and dbt (testing, macros, documented models) and commercial experience with Snowflake.

  • Solid experience on Azure (eg, orchestration, storage, security) and modern CI/CD for data.

  • Nice to have: Fivetran, Dataiku, Collibra, Power BI, Azure Synapse/DevOps, SQL Server stack (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS, MDS), Python and/or C#.

  • Insurance industry knowledge is required (policy/claims/brokerage or adjacent insurance data domains).

  • Communicates evidence-based impact (context + metrics) rather than vague percentage claims.

Why join

  • Multiple openings with immediate hiring-join a team that's scaling and delivering.

  • Clear scope: implement established patterns with the backing of senior architects; room to shape engineering practices and quality bars.

  • Meaningful business impact in a high-trust, values-driven environment.
