Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer | £64,000–£77,000 | Hybrid – York or London

12-month FTC | Financial Services / Insurance | 2 Vacancies

We're looking for two experienced Data Engineers to join a major finance and data transformation programme within the insurance sector.

Working with an established technology consultancy, you'll support the development of a unified cloud data platform, helping a leading insurance organisation modernise its legacy data environments and unlock greater value from its financial and operational data.

The programme is focused on migrating to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), establishing reusable data engineering capabilities and enabling the delivery of scalable data products across multiple business areas.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing, developing and maintaining scalable data ingestion pipelines.
• Onboarding data from multiple business units, applications and source systems.
• Developing reusable ETL/ELT frameworks and metadata-driven ingestion solutions.
• Supporting the creation of high-quality, reliable data products.
• Collaborating with Lead Data Engineers, Data Architects and wider engineering teams.
• Contributing to engineering standards, automation and continuous improvement across the platform.

What we're looking for:

• Strong commercial experience as a Data Engineer.
• Experience developing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and reusable ingestion frameworks.
• Strong cloud data engineering experience, ideally within GCP.
• Experience working with complex data sources and enterprise data platforms.
• Understanding of metadata-driven engineering approaches.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within technical and business teams.
• Previous experience within financial services, insurance or InsurTech is highly desirable.

Whilst GCP experience is preferred, we're also interested in strong Data Engineers from AWS or Azure backgrounds who have experience building reusable, scalable cloud data solutions.

What's on offer?

• Salary of approximately £64,000–£77,000, depending on location and experience.
• Initial 12-month fixed-term contract.
• Hybrid working with occasional office attendance in York or London.
• Opportunity to work on a large-scale cloud data transformation.
• Potential longer-term permanent opportunities following the programme.

If you're a Data Engineer who enjoys building scalable solutions rather than isolated pipelines, we'd love to hear from you.
