We’d love to talk to you if
* You’ve got solid experience working with Python, SQL, Spark and data pipeline tools such as dbt or Airflow
* You’re comfortable working across cloud platforms – especially AWS (Glue, Lambda, Athena), Azure (Data Factory, Synapse), or GCP (Dataflow, BigQuery, Cloud Composer)
* You have a good understanding of data modelling, data warehousing and performance optimisation
* You care deeply about data quality, testing, and documentation
* You enjoy solving real-world problems and collaborating with cross-functional teams
* You’re comfortable in a consultancy setting, balancing hands-on delivery with client engagement

As this is a hybrid role, we’re looking for people within a commuting distance of our hub locations (Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London) and who are flexible to travel to client sites and CreateFuture regional offices. We are very flexible and trust you to manage your own schedule to balance face-to-face time with clients, colleagues and working from home.
We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees’ impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels.
