The Role
We are seeking a mid-level Data Engineer to join a small, high-impact technology team. This role is suited to a self-starter who enjoys autonomy, takes full ownership of their work, and is comfortable operating close to the business in a regulated financial context.
You will design, build, and maintain robust batch data pipelines, transforming data from diverse sources into a consistent, well-modelled SQL-based warehouse. Your work will directly support investment analysis, risk management, accounting, and external reporting.
This is a hands-on role with real responsibility from day one, offering the opportunity to own projects end-to-end and contribute meaningfully to the firm’s data foundation.
Key Responsibilities
* Build, own, and maintain reliable batch data ingestion pipelines from a wide range of internal and external data sources
* Design, implement, and extend transformation workflows using SQL, dbt, and Python
* Develop clean, consistent, and well-documented data models to support investment, risk, accounting, and reporting use cases
* Implement data quality, validation, reconciliation, monitoring, and alerting processes to ensure trust and auditability
* Support the production of critical reports used internally and externally, including investor and regulatory reporting
* Work closely with investment, risk, and finance stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate business needs into robust data solutions
* Respond to ad-hoc data requests with speed, accuracy, and strong business context
* Take full ownership of deliverables across the full lifecycle: design, build, test, deploy, and maintain
Tech Stack: SQL Server, dbt, Python, Docker, Power BI, private cloud infrastructure (public cloud experience beneficial)
Required Skills & Experience

* Experience working in financial services
* Strong hands-on SQL experience (SQL Server preferred) and experience using dbt
* Solid Python skills for data pipelines, tooling, and automation
* Proven experience designing and maintaining production-grade data models and pipelines
* Practical understanding of data quality, observability, reconciliation, and audit controls
* Track record of owning work end-to-end with minimal supervision
* Exposure to investment, risk, accounting, or reporting workflows within asset management or finance (preferred)
How You Work
* Self-motivated and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy
* Curious and analytical, with a willingness to dig into messy, real-world data
* Detail-oriented where controls and accuracy matter, but pragmatic and delivery-focused
* Confident communicator, able to work effectively with non-technical but quantitative stakeholders
What We Offer
* Competitive salary of £70,000 – £95,000 depending on experience
* Generous pension contribution
* Medical insurance
* High-ownership role within a small, collaborative team
* Direct exposure to investment, risk, and finance stakeholders
