Senior Data Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our growing data platform team. You will own the design, build, and reliability of our cloud-native data lakehouse — from raw ingestion through to analytics-ready Gold tables. You will work closely with data analysts, analytics engineers, and product stakeholders to deliver trusted data at speed, while championing data quality and observability as first-class concerns. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and platform engineering — you will be expected to think in architectures, not just pipelines. What You Will Do Data Platform & Pipeline Engineering ▸ Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Azure Data Factory (ADF) and Apache Airflow, processing structured and semi-structured data across the Medallion architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold). ▸ Implement incremental load patterns, change data capture (CDC), and event-driven ingestion to ensure data freshness across the platform. ▸ Build and optimise Snowflake data warehouse objects — tables, views, dynamic tables, streams, tasks, and stored procedures — for performance and cost efficiency. ▸ Develop modular, tested dbt models aligned to each Medallion layer, enforcing consistent naming conventions, documentation, and lineage across all transformations. Data Quality & Observability ▸ Embed automated data validation at every Medallion layer using Elementary (dbt's observability layer), ensuring anomaly detection, freshness checks, and sche
