Senior Data Engineer - Databricks - Financial Services

Are you a senior data engineer who builds pipelines, not just transforms data within them?

This is a contract role for someone who wants genuine ownership of a modern data platform - not ticket-taker work, but real engineering: designing pipelines, refactoring architecture, and shaping how a Databricks-first platform evolves in a regulated financial services environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and refactoring data pipelines in Databricks (this is the core platform — Synapse is out)
• Contributing to data warehouse design using dimensional modelling
• Working across the full Azure data stack — ADF, ADLS, and beyond
• Collaborating with analysts and architects to solve real business problems
• Helping build team resilience and engineering capability

What the tech stack looks like

• Databricks (primary — strong experience essential)
• PySpark / Spark SQL
• CI/CD with Azure DevOps
