Staff Data Engineer - GCP

Staff Data Engineer GCP - £95k + Bonus - London (Hybrid)

I’m currently partnered with a fast-scaling InsurTech business that’s investing heavily in its data platform as part of a wider digital group.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, high-impact IC role where you’ll take ownership of the data platform and help drive best practice across engineering, modelling, and data quality.

You’ll be working closely with teams across the business (Product, Marketing, Pricing, Analytics), helping turn data requirements into scalable, reliable solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and building robust ETL/ELT pipelines

• Developing and optimising data models for analytics and reporting

• Driving improvements across data quality, performance, and scalability

• Supporting the migration to GCP / BigQuery

• Collaborating with analysts and stakeholders to deliver business-critical data solutions

• Acting as a technical lead / mentor within a lean data team

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience in Data Engineering with advanced SQL skills

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform is essential

and dbt (or similar modern data stack tools)

• Solid understanding of ETL/ELT and data modelling principles

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

• Experience with Git / CI/CD / DevOps practices

(Python, APIs, and BI tooling exposure are a bonus, not essential)

The Environment

• Strong backing from a well-established digital group

• A mix of start-up agility + enterprise scale

• Hybrid working: 2 days in London office + occasional travel to Fleet

If you’re a Data Engineer looking for a role where you can genuinely shape a platform, not just maintain it, this is well worth a conversation.
