IT leaders choose Ekco to drive operational efficiency, scale smarter and stay ahead of risk – powered by local expertise, delivered at European scale. We specialise in helping organisations advance their cloud maturity guiding transformation, strengthening security, and maximising the value of their technology investments. ☁️ In simple terms: we help organisations modernise with confidence securing their systems, optimising their cloud, and keeping them resilient in a rapidly changing world. 🌍 Today, we’re a thriving team of 1,000+ talented and supportive colleagues across the UK, Ireland, Benelux, South Africa, and Malaysia—and we’re continuing to grow. At Ekco, how we work matters as much as what we deliver. Our people live by four core values that shape everything we do: On It: We take ownership, follow through, and get things done. All In : We collaborate, support each other, and commit fully to shared goals. Connected: We build trusted relationships with colleagues, clients, and partners. Hungry to Grow: We stay curious, keep learning, and push ourselves to the next level. 🏠If these values resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home here. The Role We need a technical leader who can design scalable data architectures while managing the team's performance against SLAs.

Team Management: Manage 3 engineers (hopefully scale up to 6 in short-term), monitor SLAs, and conduct code reviews. Methodology: Professionalize the way of working (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, Documentation). Stakeholder Management: Translate business needs into technical roadmaps. Requirements (Must Haves): 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering/Architecture on Azure. Proven experience leading a technical team (mentoring, code reviews, sprint planning). Deep knowledge of Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake) and Spark architecture. Experience with DevOps for data (CI/CD) Strong communication skills: ability to push back on unrealistic deadlines and explain technical debt to non-tech stakeholders. Nice to Haves: Experience with Azure AI Foundry or Machine Learning engineering.
