Data Engineer - Live Services & Grafana | SC Required

6-month contract | Telford - hybrid, 2 days onsite

Help teams see how their data services are performing-and spot problems before they escalate.

Synergize Consulting is seeking a Data Engineer to combine live service support with improvements to monitoring, dashboards and alerting across an established data environment.

You'll work with technologies including Denodo, Talend, Pentaho Data Integration, Git, MySQL and Amazon Redshift, supporting operational services while helping create a clearer, consolidated view of service health.

Your contract at a glance

• Duration: 6 months.

• Location: Telford, with 2 days per week onsite.

• Clearance: SC clearance must be in place before your start can be confirmed.

The opportunity

A key focus is improving how services are monitored. You'll help bring separate Grafana dashboards together into a live service view, with the ability to drill down into individual services.

You'll also help introduce monitoring and alerting for Legacy services that currently lack coverage, working with stakeholders to understand each service and define useful alerts.

What you'll be doing

• Providing live support across the data technology estate.

• Investigating operational issues and supporting service reliability.

• Creating, improving and consolidating Grafana dashboards.

• Developing a unified view of service health with service-level drill-down.

• Gathering monitoring requirements and understanding service dependencies.

• Configuring appropriate alerts for services without existing monitoring.

• Working with technical teams and stakeholders to make monitoring clear and actionable.

What you'll bring

• Experience supporting live data services and troubleshooting technical issues.

• Relevant experience across Denodo, Talend, PDI, Git, MySQL and Redshift.

• The ability to understand service behaviour and translate operational requirements into practical improvements.

• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach.

Grafana monitoring experience is particularly desirable, including dashboard creation, consolidation and alert configuration. Experience working in a client-side role would also be beneficial.

Why apply?

This contract offers the chance to improve both service reliability and the tools teams use to manage it. You'll combine hands-on support with tangible engineering improvements, helping replace fragmented monitoring with a more useful view of the live environment.
