Senior Data Engineer I
Job Description
Would you like to be part of a team that delivers high-quality software to our customers
Are you a highly visible champion with a ‘can do’ attitude and enthusiasm that inspires others
About the Business
At Data Services, our goal is to keep the world connected. We are a leading provider of analytics, helping customers understand the past, present, and predict what comes next.
As part of our strategic evolution, we are investing in a shared, central data and AI platform designed to enable teams across the organisation to build trusted, reusable, and scalable data capabilities. Foundry standardises the foundations of how data is ingested, governed, transformed, and delivered, allowing product and domain teams to focus on differentiated value
About the Role
This role is focused on designing and delivering high-quality, production-ready data and software solutions within a modern, platform-enabled environment. You will work across systems and teams to translate business needs into scalable, reliable, and reusable data capabilities.
As part of our transition to a more platform-driven operating model, you will contribute to building data products that can be reused across teams and use cases, rather than one-off pipelines. You will collaborate closely with domain teams and platform services to ensure solutions align with shared standards, governance, and delivery patterns.
The role also operates within an evolving ecosystem where contract-driven data approaches are increasingly used to define datasets, structure, quality expectations, and access patterns. While direct experience with data contracts is not required, exposure to structured data governance, schema ownership, or similar concepts would be beneficial.
You will be expected to design across multiple systems and markets, and engage directly with stakeholders to shape solutions that are robust, scalable, and aligned to long-term platform direction.
