Data Engineer (Snowflake / AWS) – 12 Month FTC
📍 London – Hybrid (2–3 days onsite, flexible)
 💰 £65,000 – £80,000   benefits

The Opportunity
We’re working with a PE-backed, data-driven media and analytics business undergoing a major transformation as they bring their data platform in-house.
This is a high-impact opportunity to join during a critical transition away from a third-party vendor, where you’ll play a key role in stabilising, maintaining, and evolving a modern cloud-based data platform.
You’ll gain exposure to large-scale, real-world data, alongside emerging AI-driven initiatives, with the opportunity to grow your skills and ownership over time.

The Role
You’ll work hands-on across an established AWS and Snowflake environment, supporting the existing platform while contributing to its ongoing improvement.
Key responsibilities:
  • Supporting and maintaining AWS infrastructure (S3, EC2, ECS, Lambda)
  • Developing and optimising data pipelines using Python and SQL
  • Building and improving data models and semantic layers
  • Managing deployments through Git-based workflows
  • Working within a Snowflake data platform
  • Supporting infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform
  • Helping enable analytics and AI-driven use cases
About You
We’re looking for a hands-on Data Engineer with a solid foundation who’s keen to grow in a modern data environment.
You might already be working as a Data Engineer, or looking to step into a more impactful Data Engineer role. This would suit a Data Engineer who enjoys getting stuck into real-world problems, or a developing Data Engineer ready to take the next step. Ultimately, this is a role for a curious, motivated Data Engineer who wants to learn and grow.
Ideally, you’ll have:
  • Strong SQL skills (data modelling, transformations)
  • Experience with Python
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
  • Familiarity with Git/version control
  • Some experience working with modern data platforms (e.g. Snowflake)
Nice to have:
  • Exposure to Terraform
  • Experience supporting existing data platforms
  • Interest in AI / LLM tools (e.g. Claude)
👉 You don’t need to tick every box.
 What matters most is a strong foundation, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
Why Apply?
  • Join a business-critical transformation programme
  • Work with a modern stack: AWS, Snowflake, Python
  • Opportunity to develop and grow into greater ownership
  • Exposure to AI-led data initiatives
  • Be part of a PE-backed business investing heavily in data and technology

If this sounds like something up your street please get in touch with me, Kumbirai Mafini, [email protected]
