Hemel Hempstead | Hybrid, 3 days per week onsite (flexibility available)
Here at Burns Sheehan, we're partnering with a highly reputable, PE-backed business that is investing in its data platform and looking to hire an experienced Data Engineer to join a small, highly capable team.
The business has already built a strong modern data foundation, with Snowflake at its core, AI-assisted development embedded into its workflows, and a growing suite of internal data applications supporting key business functions.
With exciting projects ahead spanning predictive forecasting, dynamic pricing, workforce optimisation and customer analytics, this is a great opportunity for an engineer who wants genuine ownership and the chance to influence technical decisions.
What You'll Be Doing:- Designing, building and optimising robust data pipelines across AWS and Snowflake.
- Developing reliable, well-tested data models with a strong focus on accuracy, reconciliation and governance.
- Taking ownership of engineering solutions, from initial design through to delivery.
- Working closely with business stakeholders, challenging requirements and proposing better technical solutions.
- Contributing to architectural decisions and presenting technical trade-offs to senior leadership.
- Exploring AI-assisted development and emerging Snowflake capabilities, including Cortex.
- Strong commercial experience with AWS, Snowflake, dbt, SQL and Python.
- Proven experience building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines.
- Strong understanding of data quality, testing and reconciliation.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership in a lean engineering environment.
- Confident stakeholder communication and a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset.
- An interest in AI-assisted engineering and modern data tooling.
This is an opportunity to join a business where you'll have a real say in how the data platform evolves, working on projects directly linked to commercial performance rather than simply maintaining existing pipelines.
