We are a boutique management consulting firm that offers the world’s top industry players a competitive edge through our expertise and industry insight. Our team is of a uniquely high calibre and works across regulated financial markets, bringing deep expertise in insurance, alternative asset markets - including private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real estate - and other specialised financial sectors. This focus enables us to bring relevant, hands-on experience to our clients’ most important challenges. We have our headquarters located the United Kingdom, as well as offices in major global financial centres across the United States, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Asia.\nAbout the role\nOur senior data engineers are hands-on leaders of consultants and client teams, building data platforms for clients in regulated financial services - private equity, real estate, fund administration, and specialist insurance. You'll work directly with client stakeholders, from engineering leads to CTOs, delivering production pipelines on Databricks or Snowflake (strong experience in one is sufficient). This is a hands-on build role with client exposure. You'll write code, review architecture decisions, lead junior engineers and explain trade-offs to people who aren't engineers.\nWhat you'll do\nLead and mentor junior engineers on your delivery workstream, reviewing their code and data model decisions\nBuild reliable ingestion pipelines that move client data from source systems into the platform efficiently and securely\nDesign data models - Data Vault 2.0, Kimball Dimensional etc. that survive audit and give the business one trusted version of the numbers\nBuild pipelines to agreed SLAs and own their reliability in production\nWork with domain SMEs to translate business logic into pipeline logic that produces correct numbers\nBring LLM-based processing into pipelines where it fits, document parsing, entity extraction, unstructured data classification, alongside deterministic logic\nBuild AI-powered business solutions on the platform, agents, search, and applied use cases on Mosaic AI or Cortex, that solve a client problem with trusted data rather than demo a capability\nSupport pre-sales by sizing effort and cost for prospective engagements, contribute to delivery plans, and present technical approach to prospective clients\nWhat you'll bring\n4+ years in data engineering, with at least 2 years on Databricks or Snowflake in production (one platform is sufficient)\nStrong SQL and Python; comfort with PySpark or Snowpark\nStrong experience with at least one cloud vendor, Azure, AWS, or GCP, including core services beyond the data platform itself (networking, IAM, storage)\nWorking knowledge of dimensional modelling (Kimball) and/or Data Vault 2.0\nComfortable presenting technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders\nTrack record of setting engineering standards and reviewing others' code for quality, not just correctness\nComfortable leading or mentoring junior engineers on a delivery team, and taking ownership of technical decisions\nAdditional experience we’d value\nSnowflake or Databricks certifications\nFamiliarity with private markets data (fund administration, private equity/real estate, secondaries) or London Market insurance\nExperience with supporting tooling such as IaC; Transformation (dbt); DevOps; Data Quality; Data Modelling; Data Glossary/Governance; iPaaS/ELT, Orchestration\nSome exposure to regulated environments - financial services, insurance, or similarly audited sectors - and awareness of relevant regulatory frameworks including FCA SYSC, DORA, and MiFID II\nWhat the engagement looks like\nYou'll work closely with client teams, alongside their internal engineers and Alpha consultants in a regulated environment where change control, data lineage and documentation matter. You'll write code, typically tackling the most complex challenges, review code and data model decisions across the team, and take responsibility for a delivery workstream - planning it, running it, and leading the junior engineers working on it.\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive base salary \nAnnual performance bonus tied to individual and company outcomes.\nComprehensive benefits package including private medical insurance, life assurance, and income protection.\nHybrid working model with flexible arrangements to support work-life balance.\nGenerous pension scheme with enhanced employer contributions.\nContinuous learning budget and access to industry conferences, certifications, and training programmes.\n25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with option to buy additional days.\nEmployee assistance programme and wellbeing support.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4795,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Continuous learning","Equity","Health insurance","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate","Financial Software & Embedded Finance","IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Management Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:25:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.789,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":117,"expected_fill_days":105,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T17:04:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26154,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":172063},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172063"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/alpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falpha-fmc-senior-data-engineer-databricks-snowflake"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":441306}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"alphafmc.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":441306},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
