Data Engineer (Contract)

We need Data Engineers to build the pipelines that move a large regulated UK organisation's data onto Snowflake. It's a high-scale environment, and this is where most of the delivery happens, so we're hiring more than one.

What you'll do:

Build and maintain data pipelines feeding Snowflake.
Model and transform data with dbt.
Work with streaming data through Kafka.
Write clean, tested Python and SQL that other people can rely on.

What we're looking for:

Strong Python and SQL.
Hands-on dbt experience.
Real pipeline development experience with Snowflake.
Exposure to Kafka or event streaming.
Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot as part of your everyday workflow.

Bonus points for AWS and any experience in regulated environments.

About hedgehog lab:

We're hedgehog lab, a digital product and engineering consultancy. For nearly 20 years we've embedded engineers inside the teams of well-known organisations in regulated, high-trust sectors, from financial services to the public sector.

We're a certified B Corp.

We're also serious about AI-assisted engineering. We've built our own agentic tooling and cut time-to-merge by around 60% on recent work, and our people get to use that on real projects.

The details:

Contract, outside IR35.
3 to 6 months, with strong potential to extend.
Hybrid. You'll work from the client's London, Bristol or Edinburgh office a couple of times a week.
