£80,000-£90,000
We’re looking for a Data Platform Engineer to join a growing data team and play a key role in the development of a modern Azure-based data platform.
This is an opportunity to get involved in more than just keeping the lights on. You’ll help shape the platform’s future, influence technical decisions, and work closely with Data Engineers and stakeholders across the business to deliver scalable, reliable data solutions. If you enjoy ownership, solving complex technical challenges, and building things the right way, this role offers plenty of scope to make a genuine impact.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for the infrastructure, integrations and platform services that power the organisation’s data estate. Working with Azure, Databricks and Terraform, you’ll help ensure the platform remains secure, reliable and efficient while supporting a growing range of analytics and data initiatives.
What You’ll Be Doing
*Managing and improving Azure-based infrastructure and services.
*Supporting and developing a Databricks data platform.
*Building and maintaining integrations between business systems and data platforms.
*Developing CI/CD pipelines and automation processes.
*Monitoring platform performance, reliability and security.
*Supporting disaster recovery, incident management and operational best practice.
*Working closely with Data Engineers to enable reliable and scalable data solutions.
What We’re Looking For
*Experience working with Azure cloud technologies.
*Strong Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code experience.
*Hands-on experience with Azure Databricks.
*Knowledge of SQL and modern data platform concepts.
*Experience with APIs, systems integration and automation.
*Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and Git-based development.
*Scripting skills using Python, PowerShell or similar.
Why Apply?
*Opportunity to have a real influence on the direction of the data platform.
*High level of ownership and autonomy.
*Work alongside talented Data, Analytics and AI professionals.
*Modern cloud and data technology stack.
*Join at a stage where your ideas and contributions will genuinely shape how the platform evolves.
This role would suit someone who enjoys platform engineering, cloud infrastructure and modern data technologies, and wants to make a visible impact rather than simply maintain an established environment.
