We're looking for a skilled Senior Engineer with proven experience in Cloud technology. You will work within the Data Platforms Engineering team to advance our Enterprise Data Lakehouse platform. If you're passionate about leading the development of scalable data solutions and automating infrastructure, this role is for you.
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, at our London office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
What you’ll be doing
In this role, you'll work in the Data Platforms Engineering team, utilising cutting-edge Cloud technology within Microsoft Azure to enhance our Enterprise Data Lakehouse platform. Using tools such as Databricks, Python, and Terraform, you'll design and develop key platform functionality and data analytics solutions. Expect a hands-on experience where you'll contribute significantly to our daily operations, making a tangible impact with your expertise.
Your responsibilities will encompass building robust code to underpin our platforms and implementing ETL processes, to streamline data movement. Crucially, you'll be tasked with optimising data pipelines to enhance the performance of reporting tools and dashboards.
Automation will be a key focus, as you'll leverage your expertise to automate routine data processes, reducing manual effort and enhancing overall efficiency. Ensuring data security and compliance standards are upheld is paramount, guaranteeing that data is handled securely and in alignment with relevant regulations. You'll also be responsible for maintaining comprehensive documentation across all development efforts, facilitating knowledge transfer, making the onboarding process easier for new team members.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

* Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand.
* Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development.
* Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.
You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
