Overview

: The Senior Data Engineer will support GGB UK’s Chief Data Office by designing, building, testing, and maintaining reliable data pipelines, data models, and engineering solutions that turn source system data into governed, trusted, and reusable data assets. The role requires solid hands-on experience in SQL, Python or equivalent programming, ETL/ELT development, data warehousing, cloud data platforms, data quality controls, source-to-target mapping, orchestration, and production support. The role will work closely with Data Owners, Data Stewards, Business Analysts, Data Analysts, Product Owners, platform teams, and governance stakeholders to deliver scalable data foundations, improve data reliability, automate ingestion and transformation workflows, and enable analytics, reporting, governance, and downstream data products. How you'll make an impact Responsibilities: Data Pipeline Engineering: Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain scalable batch and near-real-time data pipelines across source systems, staging layers, data warehouses, lakehouses, and reporting-ready data layers. ETL/ELT Development and Automation: Develop reusable ingestion, transformation, cleansing, enrichment, and load routines using SQL, Python, orchestration tools, and approved enterprise data platforms. Data Modelling and Warehousing: Build and optimise relational, dimensional, and analytical data models that support business intelligence, data quality monitoring, governance reporting, and self-service analytics. Data Quality Engineering: Embed data quality checks, reconciliation controls, validation rules, exception handling, lineage checks, and automated monitoring into data pipelines to improve completeness, accuracy, consistency, timeliness, and reliability. Source-to-Target Mapping and Data Lineage: Interpret business requirements, source system structures, data definitions, and transformation rules to create, validate, and maintain technical mappings and lineage documentation. Platform Collaboration and Production Support:



Work with cloud, database, Dev Ops, BI, analytics, and governance teams to troubleshoot pipeline failures, optimise performance, manage dependencies, support releases, and ensure stable production operations. Documentation and Engineering Standards: Maintain technical design documents, data dictionaries, source-to-target mappings, runbooks, control evidence, deployment notes, and reusable engineering patterns to ensure repeatability, auditability, and maintainability. Continuous Improvement and Optimisation: Improve pipeline performance, reduce manual effort, automate recurring data processes, optimise compute and storage usage, strengthen controls, and contribute to engineering best practices across the data ecosystem.
