Data Engineer

Gloucester | up to £53,000 + benefits | Hybrid: 2 days on site

We’re hiring a Data Engineer for a Gloucester-based organisation building a modern Azure data platform. If you enjoy turning messy, siloed data into clean, reliable datasets and you’re confident with Azure services and SQL this is worth a look.

What you'll be doing

• Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT pipelines in Azure (e.g. Data Factory/Synapse/Storage).
• Model data for analytics and reporting; ensure quality, lineage and reliability.
• Write, optimise and tune T-SQL (views, procedures, performance).
• Automate data ingestion from APIs, apps and third-party sources.
• Monitor, troubleshoot and improve pipeline performance and cost.
• Partner with analysts and product/IT to deliver trustworthy datasets.
• Contribute to platform direction; explore/introduce Microsoft Fabric where useful.

What you’ll bring

• Solid SQL engineering skills and performance tuning experience.
• Hands-on with Azure data services (ADF, Synapse, Azure SQL/Storage, DevOps/Git).
• ETL/ELT best practice, data modelling (star/snowflake), testing and documentation.
• Comfortable working across security, access, and governance basics.

Nice to have: Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Python, Databricks/dbt, CI/CD for data.

What's on offer

• Salary: up to £53,000 + benefits.
• Hybrid: 2 days on site each week in Gloucester.
• Supportive environment with scope to influence tooling and standards.

You must be able to commute and live within a commutable distance to Gloucester or already planning to relocate to be considered for this role. Unfortunately there is no sponsorship on offer for this role.
