Senior Data Platform Engineer (Python & Databricks)

Detalhes da Vaga:

We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join a high-impact engagement with one of our partners, a global leader in wealth-management technology.

This is a hybrid position to work in our office in Edinburgh. Here you'll find our office location. We expect the engineer working in this position to go to the office between 2 to 3 times per week.

You will help build and evolve a financial data platform developed on top of Databricks and used by major enterprise clients. The platform supports the ingestion, transformation, modeling, and delivery of complex financial data.

This is primarily a backend and data-platform position. You will work across Python services, APIs, data pipelines, and data models while collaborating closely with an established engineering team in Edinburgh.

The ideal candidate has substantial hands-on Databricks experience and can become productive in a complex data environment. You should be comfortable taking ownership of well-defined areas of work while gradually building a broader understanding of the platform.

We process our payment in US dollars, however you can receive it in your local currency.

What You’ll Do

Data Platform Development

  • Build and maintain components of a large-scale financial data platform.

  • Develop reliable data pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and delivering financial data.

  • Design data models that support enterprise reporting, analytics, and downstream integrations.

  • Improve the performance, reliability, maintainability, and observability of existing data workflows.

  • Troubleshoot complex issues across data-processing and application layers.

Python and API Development

  • Design, build, and maintain production-grade applications and services using Python.

  • Develop well-structured APIs for accessing and managing data-platform capabilities.

  • Write clean, testable, maintainable, and well-documented code.

  • Participate in architectural and technical-design discussions.

  • Review code and help maintain a high engineering standard across the team.

Databricks Engineering

  • Build and operate production workloads using Databricks.

  • Help improve the organization and execution of Databricks-based data workflows.

  • Work with large datasets and complex transformation requirements.

  • Apply Databricks best practices to improve scalability, reliability, and developer productivity.

Collaboration and Ownership

  • Work directly with engineers and technical leaders from both Codelitt and our partner.

  • Collaborate with a hybrid engineering team based in Edinburgh.

  • Break complex requirements into clear and manageable technical tasks.

  • Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and blockers proactively.

  • Take ownership of assigned initiatives from technical discovery through delivery.

  • Contribute to documentation and internal knowledge sharing.

Required Qualifications

  • Five or more years of professional software-engineering experience.

  • Strong professional experience developing production applications with Python.

  • Hands-on experience building production workloads with Databricks.

  • Experience designing and maintaining data pipelines.

  • Strong understanding of data modeling and data-processing concepts.

  • Experience designing or consuming APIs in distributed systems.

  • Experience working with relational databases and SQL.

  • Strong automated-testing and software-quality practices.

  • Experience working with version control, code review, and CI/CD workflows.

  • Ability to understand and contribute to an established, complex codebase.

  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a broader engineering team.

  • Ability to attend the Edinburgh office regularly, typically one to two days per week.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building data platforms for financial-services or other data-intensive industries.

  • Experience with cloud-based data architectures.

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.

  • Experience improving the observability and operational reliability of data pipelines.

  • Familiarity with modern data governance, access-control, and data-quality practices.

  • Experience working in an enterprise environment with strict security and compliance requirements.

  • Front-end experience with React or another modern JavaScript framework.

Front-end development and infrastructure work may occasionally be required, but they are not the primary focus of this position. Deep Kubernetes expertise is not required.

Who You Are

- Databricks Experienced

You have used Databricks in a real production environment and understand how to build, maintain, and troubleshoot data workloads on the platform.

- Python Focused

You can design and implement reliable Python services and APIs, not simply scripts or notebooks.

- Data Oriented

You understand how data moves through a platform and can reason about ingestion, transformation, modeling, quality, performance, and downstream consumption.

- Proactive

You communicate before a problem becomes a surprise. When blocked, you raise the issue, explain its impact, and help identify a path forward.

- Comfortable with Complexity

You can navigate a mature platform with significant internal context. You know how to ask effective questions, document what you learn, and gradually expand your ownership.

- Collaborative

You enjoy working with other engineers, sharing knowledge, reviewing designs, and contributing to a healthy engineering culture.

What We Offer

  • Generous paid-time-off policy.

  • Paid sick leave.

  • Paid parental leave.

  • Opportunities to work on challenging products with experienced international teams.

  • A collaborative environment that values technical quality and personal ownership.

  • Regular team-building activities throughout the year.
