Data Engineer

Company cultures & job summary

Our client is an established consultancy delivering complex data and analytics programmes into some seriously high-profile environments — the kind of work that actually matters. They're embedded within a large-scale enterprise analytics programme, working alongside analysts and stakeholders to build the data infrastructure that drives real decision-making. The team is agile, delivery-focused, and needs someone who gets things done — not someone who talks about it. You'll need to be genuinely hands-on with AWS (S3, Glue, RDS PostgreSQL), comfortable orchestrating workflows in Apache Airflow, and confident building ETL/ELT pipelines from the ground up. Tableau dashboard development, SQL across PostgreSQL and SQL Server, and experience handling JSON and semi-structured data are all must-haves. If you've also worked with JupyterHub or RStudio, even better. SC Clearance is essential — don't apply without it. Sound like you? APPLY TODAY and let's talk.
