Contract Snowflake Data Engineer (Aladdin / BlackRock)

Contract Snowflake Data Engineer (Aladdin / BlackRock)

• UK Hybrid / Remote options
• Competitive Day Rates (£500-£750 Outside)
• Immediate / Short Notice Start Preferred

The Role

We’re supporting a specialist consultancy delivering projects across BlackRock’s Aladdin ecosystem, with a current need for contract Snowflake Data Engineers who understand the buy-side environment.

This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on building and optimising data solutions within Aladdin Data Cloud / Snowflake for global financial institutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and optimise data pipelines within Snowflake
• Work directly with Aladdin data models and integrations
• Support ongoing implementation and enhancement projects
• Translate business requirements across front office, risk, and operations into scalable data solutions
• Contribute to data architecture and performance optimisation

Essential Experience

Must-have (non-negotiable):

• Hands-on experience with BlackRock Aladdin
• Strong Snowflake data engineering experience
• Background in buy-side environments (asset management, insurance, custody)

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience with Aladdin Data Cloud
• Exposure to BlackRock’s wider platform (incl. EFront)
• Strong understanding of investment data workflows (front-to-back)
• Prior experience on large-scale transformation or integration programmes

Why Contractors Take This Role

• Niche, high-demand skillset → strong rate potential
• Opportunity to work on globally recognised platforms (Aladdin)
• Immediate impact on live transformation programmes
• Long-term pipeline of work across UK & US projects

This is not a generic Snowflake contract.

Candidates without Aladdin experience won’t be considered.
