Data Engineer | FTC | Learn Snowflake | Private Equity

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
