Data Engineer

Location: Birmingham (Hybrid)

Hours: Full‑time, 40 hours per week

Cygnet is strengthening its data capability following a period of change, with a focus on building a sustainable, well‑supported engineering environment.

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join a growing team supporting key business areas, including clinical, finance and corporate services.

This role forms part of a restructured team model, designed to improve resilience, clarify ownership and support long‑term career development.

You will work collaboratively with other data engineers, BI professionals and stakeholders, with clear priorities, shared platform responsibility and realistic delivery expectations.

Ways of working

Hybrid model:

- Birmingham office every Monday

- One additional office day aligned to team needs

- Remaining days remote

- Workload and priorities are actively managed to balance BAU support and project delivery

- Engineering standards, documentation and knowledge‑sharing are treated as core responsibilities, not after‑hours work

You will help design, build and maintain our data platform as we continue our journey onto Snowflake, working across clearly defined data domains while contributing to shared platform components.

Supporting safe and sustainable delivery

You’ll also have protected time for learning, development and knowledge‑sharing within your working week.

• 3+ years’ experience as a Data Engineer
• Strong SQL development skills
• Hands‑on experience with Snowflake
• Experience working in Azure
• Experience designing and maintaining production data pipelines
• Experience in regulated or data‑sensitive environments (e.g. healthcare, finance)
• Familiarity with data governance, security and privacy
• Experience working in cross‑functional data or BI teams
