Senior Data Engineer

London

Method is a global design and engineering consultancy founded in 1999. We believe that innovation should be meaningful, beautiful and human. We craft practical, powerful digital experiences that improve lives and transform businesses. Our teams [based in London, New York, Charlotte, Atlanta, Bengaluru, Japan and remote] work with a wide range of organizations in many industries, including Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, Automotive, Aviation, and Professional Services.

Method is part of GlobalLogic, a digital product engineering company. GlobalLogic integrates experience design and complex engineering to help our clients imagine what’s possible and accelerate their transition into tomorrow’s digital businesses. GlobalLogic is a Hitachi Group Company.

We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data & AI team. You will work within multidisciplinary project teams across a range of client engagements, contributing to the design and development of robust data infrastructure, data pipelines, and scalable data solutions. You think strategically, are comfortable with open-ended data problems, and can contribute meaningfully to client conversations about data architecture, modernization, and AI readiness.

The ideal candidate is technically grounded, consulting-minded, and equally comfortable navigating ambiguity, working across disciplines, and communicating clearly with stakeholders at all levels. Travel for client and stakeholder meetings may be required depending on engagement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize data pipelines and data infrastructure across a range of client engagements.
  • Contribute to data modeling, master data management, and taxonomy standardization across complex, multi-system environments.
  • Build and test API integrations and prototypes, including working with static data exports and mock stubs in early-phase delivery contexts.
  • Document data governance artefacts - data domains, critical data elements, quality rules, and data lineage - and support clients in building data governance capability.
  • Reverse-engineer legacy systems and extract business logic from poorly documented codebases, complex spreadsheet models, or fragmented data structures.
  • Collaborate with architects, designers, product managers, and client stakeholders to align data solutions with broader digital product and platform goals.
  • Contribute to AI readiness assessments - evaluating data coverage, quality, schema consistency, and lineage to identify gaps and support remediation.
  • Perform code reviews, mentor junior team members, and contribute to best practices across the Data & AI team.
  • Communicate data architecture and pipeline design clearly using schemas, data flow diagrams, and visual artefacts, for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of data engineering experience, including delivery in a consulting or client-facing environment.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for data wrangling, transformation, and pipeline development.
  • Experience in data modeling - designing master data schemas and drafting unified taxonomies across fragmented source systems.
  • Master Data Management (MDM) experience: cleansing, mapping, and standardizing inconsistent data into a governed structure.
  • Experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and working with cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience documenting data governance artefacts and contributing to data governance frameworks.
  • Ability to reverse-engineer legacy systems and extract business logic from poorly documented codebases or complex Excel/VBA models.
  • Strong communication skills - able to translate technical decisions clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and structuring a path forward without perfect requirements.
  • Willing and able to ramp on new technologies as client engagements evolve.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Azure services (Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Azure DevOps).
  • Experience with API mock development or prototyping in early-phase delivery contexts.
  • Experience with ERP or supply chain data structures.
  • Experience modernizing legacy integrations (SOAP/WCF to REST).
  • Database consolidation or migration experience (SQLite, MSSQL, or cloud databases).
  • Familiarity with modern orchestration and transformation tools (Airflow, dbt, Dagster, Prefect).
  • Background in manufacturing, engineering, or cost modelling domains.
  • Familiarity with enterprise integration platforms such as MuleSoft.
  • Experience with machine learning or predictive analytics frameworks.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
