New Today

Senior Snowflake Data Engineer
London/Hybrid
circa £90,000 + bonus + benefits
OverviewWe'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.
