Job Description
Senior Data Engineer | London | Financial Services | Snowflake, dbt, Power BI | Contract (Outside IR35) or Perm (Salary + Bens)
A growing financial services business is investing heavily in its next-generation data platform, creating a modern ecosystem that will power trading, operational, regulatory and commercial intelligence across the organisation. They're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to take significant ownership of a Snowflake-based Data Lakehouse and help shape how data is ingested, modelled, governed and ultimately consumed across the business.
You'll work across the full data lifecycle rather than being siloed into pipelines or BI. That means building ETL/ELT pipelines across trading, CRM, finance and risk data; developing Snowflake models and dbt transformations; establishing governance and lineage; and owning the semantic layer that powers operational and management reporting. You'll work directly with stakeholders across Trading, Finance, Marketing, Compliance and Operations to turn complex requirements into scalable data solutions.
The core requirements are:
- Financial services, FinTech or trading experience
- Strong Snowflake / Data Warehouse / Lakehouse experience
- Expert SQL and dimensional data modelling
- 2+ years' production dbt
- 3+ years' enterprise Power BI
- Advanced DAX, Power Query/M and semantic modelling
- Strong ETL/ELT and data pipeline experience
- Ideally Python, AWS, Terraform or Microsoft Fabric exposure
This is a high-impact position where you'll have the opportunity to influence the architecture rather than simply inherit it. You'll work across engineering, analytics and the business, taking ownership from raw data through to the dashboards and insights used for critical decision-making. It's ideal for someone who enjoys technical depth but also wants visibility, autonomy and genuine influence over a modern data platform.
