Contract Cloud Data Platform Specialist

6-Month Contract | SC Clearance (Current, Lapsed or Eligible)

Hybrid working (2 days p/week onsite near Cardiff for the first month then 1 day onsite p/month thereafter) 

Budgets are tight at £400 - £450 p/day but this has been determined as Outside IR35 if that helps (we can still pay through an umbrella of course if you prefer that) 

We're recruiting a Cloud Data Platform Specialist to support the operation, administration and ongoing development of a modern Microsoft Azure data platform.

This isn't a Data Scientist role. We're looking for someone with a strong operational and platform administration background who can manage, support and improve enterprise cloud data services.

You'll need experience with:

Microsoft Databricks

Microsoft Fabric

Azure Data Factory

Azure Data Lake

Azure SQL

Power BI

Administration and operational support of Azure data platforms

You'll also ideally have experience with:

Azure DevOps and controlled deployment environments

Infrastructure as Code using Terraform

Integration platforms, ideally Salesforce MuleSoft

Ideally you'll have:

Current SC Clearance, recently lapsed SC, or be eligible and willing to undergo SC/MV clearance

Experience working within secure or highly regulated environments

Strong troubleshooting and platform support skills

Contract Length: 6 months initially, with strong potential for extension

Location: Hybrid role with occasional travel to Cardiff
