Home  | Cenosco  | Senior Data Engineer
  • United Kingdom

  • About the Role

    At Cenosco, we build Asset Integrity Management Software trusted by global leaders in Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Energy and beyond. We are building a new data platform from the ground up, and we need a Senior Data Engineer to shape it: the architecture, the tooling, and the single source of truth our products and teams will rely on.

    You will join the Data Engineering team, make real architectural decisions, and bring a pioneering mindset. No tools are set in stone, so we expect you to propose what works best and back it with reasoning.

    What You'll Do

    Platform & Architecture

    • Design and build our data platform from scratch, from ingestion to modelling to consumption

    • Take part in architectural decisions and help choose the right technologies (Snowflake, Databricks, or something you propose)

    • Research, evaluate, and implement a single source of truth across our data landscape

    Data Integration

    • Connect and consolidate data from multiple IMS databases and other heterogeneous sources

    • Design and build reliable, scalable ELT/ETL pipelines

    • Develop data models that serve both product and analytical needs

    Collaboration

    • Work closely with Product, Engineering, Domain Expertise, and other departments to turn business needs into solid data solutions

    • Raise the quality bar through code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing

    • Help shape engineering practices and standards as the team grows

    What You'll Need

    • 8+ years of professional experience in Data Engineering

    • Professional experience in a SaaS or Data-as-a-Service environment

    • Solid SQL and Python

    • Hands-on experience designing and building ELT/ETL pipelines

    • Strong data modelling skills (dimensional and/or lakehouse)

    • Production experience with at least one modern cloud data platform (Snowflake or Databricks ideal; BigQuery or Synapse also welcome)

    • Experience integrating data from multiple heterogeneous sources

    • Experience owning or influencing architectural and tooling decisions, and the ability to explain the trade-offs

    • Comfortable building without an existing backlog, structure, or playbook

    • Fluent English and strong communication skills

    Bonus Points For

    • Experience with orchestration and transformation tools (Airflow, dbt, Dagster)

    • Infrastructure as code and CI/CD (Terraform, Git-based workflows)

    • Experience with data governance, data quality, or master data management

    • Experience with Azure (or another major cloud)

    Working Location

    • UK - Remote

    Why You'll Love Working with Us

    • Build a data platform from scratch, with real influence on direction and tooling

    • Work on software used in safety-critical industries - your work genuinely matters

    • Freedom to propose and pioneer rather than inherit someone else's decisions

    • Join a small, engaged team where your voice carries weight

    • Flexible working arrangements that fit both you and the role

    • Competitive compensation with meaningful additional perks and top-notch equipment

    • Real investment in your growth - continuous learning is part of how we work

    • Team activities chosen by the team, not the marketing department
