Build the Data Platform Powering Better Healthcare

Data can change lives when it's used effectively.

HireQ Talent is partnering with an innovative and rapidly growing Health Tech organisation that is transforming the way healthcare data is leveraged to improve patient outcomes.

This is not a role maintaining legacy infrastructure or inheriting someone else's architecture.

This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a modern enterprise data platform from the ground up. You'll play a pivotal role in creating the data foundations that enable healthcare professionals, business leaders, and technology teams to make faster, smarter, and more informed decisions across a highly regulated, data-intensive environment.

As the Senior Data Platform Engineer, you'll own the evolution of a greenfield Microsoft Fabric ecosystem, influencing architecture, engineering standards, governance strategy, and the long-term direction of the organisation's data capability.

If you're excited by ownership, modern cloud technologies, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact in Health Tech, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Architect the Future of Healthcare Data

• Design, build, and scale a modern Microsoft Fabric data platform
• Own platform architecture across Lakehouse, warehouse, semantic, and analytics layers
• Drive the transition from early-stage capability to enterprise-scale production environment
• Make key technology decisions that balance performance, compliance, scalability, and future innovation
• Partner with senior stakeholders to define the organisation's long-term data strategy

Engineer Modern Data Solutions

• Develop highly scalable and resilient data pipelines
• Integrate data from healthcare systems, SaaS applications, APIs, databases, and operational platforms
• Build ingestion, transformation, and orchestration frameworks using modern engineering principles

• Create governed data products that enable self-service analytics across the business
• Support executive reporting, operational intelligence, predictive analytics, and future AI initiatives
• Establish consistent metrics, definitions, and reporting standards across the organisation
• Help unlock the full value of healthcare data to improve business and patient outcomes

Champion Engineering Excellence

• Introduce CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and modern DevOps practices
• Implement governance, security, privacy, and access controls aligned to healthcare regulations
• Establish best practices for documentation, testing, deployment, and platform support
• Mentor stakeholders and influence technical standards across the wider business
• Shape the roadmap for a world-class data function
