Senior Data Engineer Consultant

Ready to build data platforms, not just pipelines?

At Opencast, we believe great data engineering is about more than moving and transforming data. It's about creating reliable, scalable foundations that help organisations make better decisions and deliver better services.

You’ll tackle complex engineering challenges across integration, migration, modelling and platform design, working with Microsoft Fabric, Azure and modern data technologies. We value engineering craft, thoughtful problem-solving and building solutions that are simple, robust and built to last.

Our data engineering capability is growing, and you'll help guide its direction through mentoring, recruitment and technical leadership, as well as your client work. If you want to shape both the solutions and capability around them, this could be the role for you.
