Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer - Data Engineering

Barbican & Epsom | Hybrid Working (1 office day per week) | Permanent | Full-Time

• Own a defined functional area of the data platform, setting the standards, patterns and tooling the team follows within it and acting as the first point of contact for questions in that area.
• Avoid becoming a single point of dependency by documenting your work and helping other engineers develop the knowledge and skills needed to support your area, treating knowledge transfer as an ongoing obligation rather than a one-off handover.
• Lead delivery initiatives end to end, planning, resourcing and delivering against agreed constraints in collaboration with Product Owners, Delivery Managers, architects and third-party suppliers.
• Line manage engineers, including objectives, development plans and reviews, and line manage external or temporary resource aligned to your initiatives for their duration.
• Design, build and operate robust ingestion, integration and transformation solutions on Snowflake, dbt and Azure, in line with Nuffield Health's enterprise architecture and data engineering standards.
• Ensure solutions are operationally ready, observable and supportable, and contribute to incident and problem management as part of the team's service management approach.
• Coach mid-level engineers to take ownership of epics and smaller initiatives within their squad, growing the next generation of leaders in the team.
• Contribute to the team's technical roadmap, BAU planning and engineering maturity, including documentation, code quality, branching and testing standards.
• Escalate cross-cutting risks, dependencies and unassigned questions to the Lead Data Engineer, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

At Nuffield Health, everything we give our patients, members and customers starts with our people. Your passion, your expertise and your drive to make a difference enable us to deliver exceptional connected healthcare and fitness experiences.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join our Data Engineering team, responsible for making data available and trusted across the whole of Nuffield Health. This is a role with real ownership: you'll own a functional area of our data platform, lead delivery initiatives and line manage engineers, setting the standards, patterns and direction that the wider team follows.

Our Data Engineering team operates a distributed leadership model. Each Senior Data Engineer owns a defined functional area, such as ingestion and integration, incident management and observability, governance, security and cost management, or CI/CD and DevOps, and is accountable for the standards and resilience of that area so that nothing depends on a single person. Seniors lead delivery initiatives and line manage engineers, with the Lead Data Engineer retaining overall technical direction and the roadmap. You'll work with industry-leading technologies including Snowflake, dbt, Azure Data Factory, Talend, SQL Server, New Relic and Terraform.
