[C3J] Azure Data Engineer

Project – the aim you’ll have

Join a large-scale data migration programme run by an international software provider operating in a regulated, audited sector. You will work in a small, senior delivery team alongside the client’s own engineering squads, moving millions of records from a legacy system into a modern Azure estate. Strict reconciliation standards, genuine accountability for data integrity, and direct contact with the client’s technical leadership.

Role – how you’ll contribute

• Design, build and run ETL pipelines migrating data from legacy SQL Server databases into Azure SQL
• Profile and reverse-engineer source schemas where documentation is incomplete, and document the model you reconstruct
• Build validation and reconciliation logic that proves completeness and correctness ahead of the initial load and every delta load
• Work with the Business Analyst on data mapping, transformation rules and the agreed data dictionary
• Execute migration rehearsal runs and support the cutover
• Follow ITIL-aligned change and release management for every production change
• Diagnose and resolve production data incidents, and contribute to root cause analysis and permanent fixes
• Maintain technical documentation for the migration components and hand it over at the end of the engagement

Expectations – the experience you need

• 3+ years delivering data migration or ETL development on enterprise or high-stakes systems
• Strong T-SQL and hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including SSIS
• Practical experience with Azure SQL Database and the surrounding Azure data services (Data Factory, Azure DevOps)
• Demonstrable data validation and reconciliation work: you can explain how you proved a migration was correct, not just that it ran
• Comfort working from incomplete documentation, using schema discovery and data profiling as a first step
• Experience handling JSON and XML payloads held inside relational structures
• English at C1 or above, with daily contact with international stakeholders

Additional skills – the edge you have

• Microsoft certification, ideally DP-203 Azure Data Engineer Associate
• ITIL Foundation v4, or willingness to certify (at our cost)
• Experience in a regulated, audited sector such as financial services, public sector or healthcare
• Experience with change data capture and keeping systems in sync during a parallel-run period
• Exposure to Databricks, Snowflake or dbt
