£400 - £450 per day

Contract Description

Data Engineer | Talend | Oracle / DataStage | Remote | Outside IR35 | £400 - £450 per day


Peaple Talent have partnered with a consultancy who are delivering a key data transformation engagement into one of their global enterprise clients.


They’re looking for a Date Engineer to support the refactoring, stabilisation, and optimisation of business-critical data pipelines across a Talend and Oracle/DataStage environment.


This is a hands-on technical role, but one that also needs someone comfortable operating in a consultancy-led delivery model. You’ll be working closely with technical teams, business stakeholders, and client-side decision makers to assess existing ETL workflows, identify areas of technical debt, and help shape practical improvements that improve performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.


The role will involve:


  • Refactoring and stabilising existing Talend ETL/data integration pipelines
  • Working across Oracle and DataStage environments, with a focus on improving resilience and performance
  • Identifying pipeline failures, bottlenecks, and areas of technical debt across legacy workflows
  • Supporting stakeholder conversations, translating technical issues into clear recommendations and delivery plans
  • Helping with testing, documentation, deployment, and handover of improved data processes


We’re looking for someone with strong Talend experience, good Oracle/SQL knowledge, and ideally previous exposure to DataStage or similar enterprise ETL platforms.


Consultancy experience would be a strong plus, but the key thing is being comfortable working with senior stakeholders in a complex client environment.


If this sounds relevant, apply or drop me a message and I’ll share more detail.
