What the job involves
- AND Digital is seeking a Principal Data Engineer to lead data strategy, platform architecture, and client delivery across its fast-scaling US business
- This is a senior, client-facing role that blends hands-on technical depth in Snowflake with consulting delivery, helping organisations modernise their data ecosystems to power AI, analytics, and digital transformation
- You’ll work closely with the Solutions Director of Data & AI to ensure data architectures are designed with AI-readiness in mind - enabling clients to unlock value from their data through scalable, cloud-based platforms
- Clients typically span Financial Services, Travel, and Technology, with projects centred on data modernisation, automation, and actionable intelligence
- You'll define and own the Snowflake architecture strategy for US clients - from ingestion to transformation and modelling
- Lead end-to-end design and implementation of Snowflake-based data platforms, ensuring scalability, performance, and security
- Establish best practices for schema design, query optimisation, and performance tuning within Snowflake
- Guide clients on Snowflake feature adoption (e.g. Snowpark, Streams, Tasks, Data Sharing, and Governance)
- Ensure platforms are optimised for integration with downstream AI, analytics, and digital products
- Lead client-facing data engineering and strategy engagements, ensuring technical excellence and commercial success
- Oversee development of data pipelines and transformations feeding Snowflake environments
- Promote consistency in design patterns, CI/CD, and version control across teams and projects
- Drive operational excellence through measurable engineering standards and quality frameworks
- Work directly with senior client stakeholders to define data modernisation roadmaps and business outcomes
- Collaborate closely with AI, Product, and Cloud leads to align Snowflake data foundations with broader solution delivery
- Represent the data practice in proposals, workshops, and technical discovery sessions
- Mentor and develop data engineers and architects across US and nearshore teams
- Contribute to building AND Digital’s Snowflake delivery capability - frameworks, accelerators, and training
- Support business development and pre-sales conversations with Snowflake-aligned solution expertise (partner-sales alliances approaches put into practice)
Our take
Having realised a growing demand for digital transformation, AND Digital set out to bridge the gap for companies between the need to improve their digital capability and their ability to attract and retain tech talent. Using a 'club' based model, the company operates with autonomous units, allowing them to serve the needs of their clients in an agile way whilst also being able to access the wider resources available to a company of its size.
AND Digital works on a disruptive model that upturns existing company processes to truly offer a comprehensive digital transformation solution, with services in consulting, app development, UX and design, and more.
With funding secured from the Business Growth Fund, the next few years are set out to be an interesting time for AND Digital. The company has been well poised to deal with the increased demand for digital capabilities brought on by the pandemic, but the real test will be whether it can sustain this moving forward through its unique approach to building, training and coaching.
