Project description

This is a strategic data engineering engagement with our client to architect and plan the migration of their entire data processing and ETL estate from Matillion to AWS Glue — a foundational shift in how one of the world's largest financial market infrastructure companies handles its data pipelines.
During this Mobilisation Phase, you'll work jointly with client's engineering teams to reverse-engineer the existing landscape, design the target-state architecture across every layer (infrastructure, data processing, workflows, dependencies, and operating model), and build the detailed delivery blueprint that will greenlight the full-scale migration.
The work is technically rich and highly collaborative: you'll review and validate job inventories spanning hundreds of ETL workflows, define reusable migration patterns and templates, design a validation and reconciliation framework, run a proof-of-concept to stress-test the approach, and navigate client's rigorous internal governance — from Architectural Significance Assessments through Architectural Review Boards to a formal Gate 1 decision.
This is the kind of engagement where your recommendations directly shape a multi-phase, multi-million-pound programme: the target-state framework you produce here becomes the blueprint that a larger delivery team will execute against. Perfect opportunity for combining deep data engineering knowledge with architecture leadership, stakeholder influence, and structured delivery planning inside a Tier 1 financial services environment
