The role

We are hiring a Senior Data Engineer to join an Intellias delivery team on a large-scale enterprise data platform migration programme for a financial services client. This is a hands-on senior role. You will write production code every week, own architectural decisions on your workstream, and mentor a paired mid-level engineer.

Our client is an independent, active global asset manager with over R3 trillion in assets under management. They are executing a firm-wide data strategy to govern, manage and engineer data as a product across more than 70 business-owned sub-domains.

As part of this, they are migrating to Databricks as the foundational layer of their Enterprise Data Platform, adopting a lakehouse architecture built on open formats, declarative pipelines and Unity Catalog.

What you'll do

  • Perform the end-to-end delivery of one or more priority data domains on Azure Databricks.
  • Design and build medallion (Bronze / Silver / Gold) pipelines using Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Auto Loader, Structured Streaming and Delta Lake with Liquid Clustering.
  • Register curated data products in Unity Catalog with the correct tags, masks, row filters, lineage and access policies.
  • Implement data quality gates at the Silver-to-Gold boundary, and refine rules with domain stewards.
  • Package and deploy work using Databricks Asset Bundles through Azure DevOps CI/CD
  • Write automated tests and documentation
  • Work at AI-as-Collaborator level today with a path to AI-as-Orchestrator, using Claude Code, Databricks Assistant, GitHub Copilot and MCP-connected agent tooling to accelerate the recurring parts of pipeline build, test and deploy.
