Data Engineer - 6 Months - Outside IR35

A leading tech company requires a data engineer for an initial 6-month contract. The position is fully remote or hybrid, outside IR35, and will likely extend long-term due to the amount of work they have in the pipeline.

The Role:

You will be part of a rapidly growing data team helping to deliver their leading data platform, which is being used to drive key decision-making in renewable energy and its use around the world-tech for good, you could say!

They are looking for a data engineer with demonstrable experience building complex systems to ingest and process large volumes of data using native AWS services.

. The main tools you will be using day to day are:

** Python

** PySpark

** SQL

** AWS - Glue

** Redshift

** Exposure to logging, monitoring and data observability would be a bonus

You:

Our customer is looking for someone who is well versed in the above tools/technologies. They also need someone who understands the principles of Data Engineering and is willing to roll up their sleeves, as this project is critical for them.

As a Senior member of the team, you are expected to pick up their tooling quickly, work closely with other team members, and help build upon an already industry-leading product.

Rate / Process:

This role is based in Edinburgh City Centre. While someone local is preferred for hybrid working, it can be fully remote.

The interview process will include a short video call with the Head of Data and then a final meeting with other team members. Interviews will be held the week of January 6th.

Rate-wise, we have between £400 - £450 per day + VAT, depending on experience and availability.

Candidates

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow
