Job Description:
The Joblogic Story
Established in 1998,Joblogic is the UK’s #1 Field Service Management (FSM) software platform. We are a global business with offices in the UK, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Since our management buy-out in 2013, we have grown from ~£500K ARR to ~£35M+ ARR and expanded our team from 11 to 500+ people.
Recently, we secured a strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners — a global technology investor specialising in enterprise software. This investment includes over £100 million in new primary capital and will fuel our next phase of growth by accelerating our AI-first roadmap, expanding our platform into CAFM (Computer-Aided Facilities Management) capabilities, and supporting our expansion across Europe and beyond.
With Vista’s backing, we’re transforming from a successful UK business into a global scaling SaaS rocket ship, and we’d love for you to join us on our journey to £100M ARR across international markets.
Joblogic provides software to service contractors who install and maintain the built environment. Our platform helps businesses streamline operations, improve profitability, ensure compliance, and achieve rapid growth. With over 100,000 users across industries including HVAC, plumbing, electrical maintenance, facilities management, and building fabric maintenance, we are entering a new era of intelligent automation, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making for service firms.
About the role
Were scaling our data department and need a senior engineer who can do two things at once:keep the data that runs the business flowing reliably today, and architect the enterprise data warehouse that will run it tomorrow.
In the near term youll own and harden our current Azure-based ingestion and transformation pipelines. In the medium term — your biggest mandate — youll design and implement our enterprise data warehouse / lakehouse from the ground up and lead the platform migration toMicrosoft Fabric(our most likely direction) or Databricks.
This is a hands-onandleadership role. Youll set engineering standards, mentor two data engineers, and be the technical owner of the engineering branch as the team and data volumes grow. If youve built a warehouse from a blank page and want to do it again — properly, with governance and a clean semantic foundation — this is that role.
The two mandates
Now run the business
What youll own today
- Own and maintain the ingestion pipelines feedingMarketing, Sales, CSM and Financeinto the data lake — consistent, auditable ingestion.
- Design, build and optimiseETL/ELT pipelines in Azure Data Factory; write and tune complex SQL and stored procedures.
- BuildPython automation and REST API integrationsfor external and third-party data.
- Enforcedata quality, validation and lineageacross every pipeline.
- Partner with the Analytics team so clean, modelled data feedsPower BIon time.
- Set the engineering bar (Git, code review, CI/CD) and mentor the two engineers.
- Monitor pipeline performance andcost; tune compute and storage.
Next build the platform
What youll build
- Architect and implement the enterprise warehouse / lakehouse end-to-end— medallion (bronze / silver / gold), dimensional models, canonical definitions, governed semantic layer.
- Lead the migration to Microsoft Fabric— OneLake, Lakehouse & Warehouse, Data Factory, Direct Lake for Power BI (or Databricks): strategy, phased cutover, legacy decommission.
- Definemodelling, naming, partitioning and indexingstandards and performance SLAs.
- Putgovernance, security, lineage and cost controlsin place so the platform scales without runaway spend.
- Own the technical roadmap and architecture direction for the engineering function.
Must-have — core skills & experience
Non-negotiable
Proven, hands-on experiencedesigning and implementing a data warehouse / lakehouse from scratch— not just maintaining one. You should be able to point to a warehouse you architected: the modelling decisions, the trade-offs, and the outcome.
- 6+ yearsin data engineering, including senior ownership of architecture and delivery on at least one end-to-end warehouse/lakehouse build.
- Python— data engineering, automation and API work.
- SQL— complex queries, performance optimisation and stored procedures.
- Azure Data Services:
- Azure Data Factory (ADF)
- Azure SQL Database
- Azure Storage (Blob / Data Lake)
- Azure Functions
- Data engineering fundamentals:
- ETL/ELT pipeline development
- Data modelling (incl. dimensional / star-schema)
- Data transformation
- Data validation & quality
- Database design & management
- REST API integration
- Git / version control
- Performance optimisation & scalability
- Strongproblem-solving & debugging
Target platform — Microsoft Fabric
Strong advantage near-required
We are moving to Fabric, so this weighs heavily
- Hands-on experience withMicrosoft Fabric— OneLake, Lakehouse & Warehouse, Data Factory (Fabric pipelines/dataflows) andDirect Lakesemantic models for Power BI.
- Candidates who haveled a migration to Fabric or Databricksare ideal.
- If you havent used Fabric yet but have deep lakehouse experience on Databricks / Synapse and can pick it up fast — still apply.
Good to have
- Apache Spark / Databricks
- Docker & containerisation
- CI/CD pipelines
- Azure DevOps
- Power BI — semantic models
- FastAPI / Flask
- Event-driven architectures
- Service Bus Kafka
- RabbitMQ Monitoring & logging
- Data governance & security (Purview)
- Cloud cost optimisation
- Unit & integration testing Agile / Scrum
Leadership & ways of working
- Technical leadership of the engineering function — mentoring, code review, and raising the standard of the two engineers on the team.
- A clear communicator who can translate between business stakeholders, the analytics team, and engineering.
- Comfortable owning ambiguity: you can set standards and architecture from a blank page and bring others along.
