Senior Azure Data Engineer

Job Purpose and Background in summary

In 2023 CDP underwent a complete digital transformation, seeing us transition the annual disclosure cycle from a paper-based, human-intensive and vendor-dependent stack, to a completely in-house developed, modernised and scalable product that will revolutionise the customer-experience for both external and internal users. As part of this transformation we also built completely new teams, spanning across Design, Product, Infrastructure and Engineering.

The Engineering team is made up of three product squads;

• Disclosure: how CDP builds and programs questionnaires, and respondents provide their data
• Scoring: how CDP scores and assesses respondents' data
• Data: how CDP can provide datasets and products to customers

The Senior Azure Data Engineer sits within our Data squad and will be responsible for developing data products for the company’s digital portfolio, built in the Azure ecosystem. This position will play a key role in developing, maintaining and improving key data products that will enable global customers to measure and act on their environmental impacts.
