Senior Data Architect

Salary: £90,000 - 90,000 per year

Requirements:

• Expert-level T-SQL and SQL Server internals (5 years) including partitioning, indexing strategy, query plan analysis, dynamic SQL, and stored procedure design at scale.
• Experience with Redgate tooling (Monitor, SQL Prompt, SQL Source Control).
• Hands-on data warehouse design and build Kimball-style dimensional modelling (fact/dim schemas), incremental and full-load patterns, slowly changing dimensions, ETL/ELT framework design.
• Production ETL development with SSIS for understanding/decommissioning legacy work, plus modern alternatives (custom T-SQL frameworks, ADF, dbt, or equivalent) for new builds.
• Operational SQL Server experience as the senior responsible person (backups, restore, security, monitoring, performance triage, replication).
• Multi-instance estate experience is essential; not a single-database background.
• Proficiency in Azure SQL (database, managed instance, or both) and knowledge of security model (EntraID groups), PaaS limitations, and migration patterns from on-prem.
• Experience with Power BI / SSRS authorship and architecture including dataset design, semantic model authoring, refresh and gateway strategy, DAX, M, and report-developer-coaching experience.
• Skills in data security model design including role-based access controls, principle of least privilege, AD/EntraID group design, schema-level permissions, and elimination of shared/admin account patterns.
• Proficiency in PowerShell for SQL administration, ETL orchestration, and operational scripting.
• Familiarity with agile environments using JIRA and Confluence, including schema documentation and lineage management.

Responsibilities:

• Set and deliver the target architecture for the ECP data estate, encompassing the data warehouse, data hub, data lake, raw/ODS layers, dimensional model, audit and schema-change tracking, and the load schedules that tie them together.
• Perform hands-on T-SQL, stored procedures, ETL framework and PowerShell development at expert level, focusing on partition design and indexing strategy.
• Drive the in-flight ETL replatform, replacing legacy SSIS jobs with a modern E-L-T framework, and eliminating dependencies that hinder efficiency.
• Own the SQL estate end-to-end as the senior practitioner, managing security model design and rollout, backup and restore strategy, and performance triage.
• Act as design authority for the wider data team, coaching SQL Developers on Power BI authorship and dimensional modelling, and reviewing data-related changes.
• Own the Power BI / SSRS reporting platform, leading the SSRS-to-Power BI migration and overseeing data refresh strategies.
• Maintain the canonical data dictionary and data domain definitions, ensuring accuracy for engineering decisions across IT.
• Triaging and resolving data-related tickets from the application support service desk, including ETL job failures and ad-hoc data corrections.
• Actively participate in all team ceremonies and contribute to forward planning for the SQL estate direction.
