Snowflake Data Engineer - Contract

London (Hybrid)

£625–£675 per day | Outside IR35

Tired of untangling legacy data silos? Ready to build something that actually drives investment decisions?

We are working with a London-based consultancy deployed at a boutique asset management firm. They aren't just moving data around; they are implementing Snowflake from the ground up to sharpen investment analytics, secure data sharing, and completely transform their operational efficiency.

This is where you come in. You won't be babysitting old systems. You'll be designing the models and pipelines that make real-time data flow seamlessly.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing, building, and maintaining scalable Snowflake data models and pipelines.

• Driving robust ELT/ETL workflows with a heavy focus on dbt.

• Implementing real-time or near real-time data streaming (using Kafka or Kinesis).

• Streamlining engineering processes to permanently eliminate data silos.

• Bonus: Integrating Aiviq native solutions (if you have this experience, we definitely want to talk to you).

Kafka Streaming Specialist Snowflake Implementation.

£550-650 per day.

London. Remote Work.

Outside IR35

Months from Launch.  Build the Data Engine.  Snowflake & Kafka.

This isn’t a maintenance role. This is a “build the plane while flying” role.

A brand new Snowflake implementation. This is what makes this role exciting. You’re not fixing someone else’s work. You’re not fixing someone else’s work or messing with poor legacy code. This is build from scratch.

I need an experienced Snowflake Data  Engineer for the next key stage in this business’s development. 

For take off, you’ll need to be capable of building a production-ready Snowflake warehouse from nothing. This isn’t a role for someone who will sit in meetings for 6 months discussing theory before filing a plan. This is for a builder, who can act now, and land this project on time. There is no runway available for delays.

And the primary challenge is to keep an eye on Snowflake credits and keep costs under control. With real-time streaming pipelines processing high volumes of events you need to avoid costs spinning out of control. But not everything needs to be low latency and part of the role will be to identify and segment what can be batch processed. The correct mentality here is to treat those Snowflake credits as if they were your own cash.

If you’ve got strong Snowflake implementation (as opposed to user) experience and dbt, kafka streaming, AWS Lambda then I’m keen to have a conversation. 

** Immediate start needed
