Apache Spark Python AWS Cloud Data Pipelines A hands-on data engineering role within a large-scale cloud data programme, responsible for building, maintaining, and troubleshooting data pipelines using Apache Spark, PySpark, Apache Airflow, and a broad suite of AWS services. You will apply strong analytical and engineering skills to deliver trusted, well-governed data assets in a modern, cloud-native environment. About Scrumconnect Scrumconnect is a leading UK technology consultancy delivering digital transformation across public and private sectors, contributing to over 20% of the UK's major citizen-facing public services. We specialise in cloud engineering, data platforms, and agile delivery, helping clients build scalable, secure, and user-centred digital solutions that create real impact. Active SC clearance is a mandatory, non-negotiable requirement. Candidates must hold current, in-date Security Check (SC) clearance at the time of application. Sponsorship is not available. Applications without active SC clearance will not be considered. Working arrangement: This role is hybrid. Candidates must be willing and able to travel to the London office three days per week. Remaining days may be worked remotely from anywhere in the UK. About the role You will work as a Data Engineer on a complex, cloud-based data programme - designing, building, and maintaining data pipelines that process large volumes of data across a modern AWS-native stack. Using Apache Spark and PySpark for distributed data processing, Apache Airflow for orchestration, and a range of AWS services for storage, compute, and analytics, you will help deliver reliable, well-governed data assets to downstream users. You will apply strong data analysis skills to identify root causes of data issues, work with dimensional data models and slowly changing dimensions, and implement infrastructure as code using Terraform. Familiarity with DWP engineering best practices and the ability to translate customer expectations into applied technical functionality are key to success in this role. Key responsibilities Data pipeline development Build and maintain scalable data pipelines using Apache Spark and PySpark, processing and transforming large datasets across distributed cloud infrastructure. Workflow orchestration Configure and manage Apache Airflow DAGs for task orchestration, ensuring reliable scheduling, monitoring, and execution of data processing workflows. Root cause analysis Perform data analysis to identify and resolve root causes of pipeline failures and data quality issues - including reviewing EMR output logs and CloudWatch metrics. Data modelling Apply understanding of dimensional data models and slowly changing dimensions (SCD) to design and maintain well-structured, analytically trusted data assets. Infrastructure as code Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform. Containerise solutions using Docker and manage deployments through GitLab CI/CD pipelines and release tagging.
