Hire data engineers in the UK
Data Engineering Jobs is the UK board for the people who build and run data platforms: pipelines, warehouses, lakehouses, streaming and the tooling that keeps analytics honest. Advertise a role to them directly and pay a fixed price once.
- What it costs
- From £99 for a 30-day listing. Pay once — no subscription, no recruiter fee, no percentage of salary.
- How fast it goes live
- One working day. A person reads every advert before it publishes, usually within a couple of hours.
- Who reads it
- Data and analytics engineers, platform people who own Spark, Kafka, dbt and the warehouse, and the architects deciding what the next platform looks like. Most are employed and read this board to see which organisations treat data as engineering rather than reporting.
- What it is not
- A CV database you rent, or an agency taking a fee on the hire. You post the role; candidates come to you.

There are three ways to fill a Data Engineering role. We are honest about being one of them.
Data engineering is where the difference between a generalist audience and a specialist one is widest: the title draws analysts and DBAs on a generalist site and engineers here. Here is the short version, including where a board is the wrong tool.
A specialist board
You are hereFixed, from £99 per role
You know roughly who you want, the salary is competitive, and you want the applications to land in your own inbox or ATS.
You need someone headhunted out of a named competitor, or the role is confidential.
A generalist platform
Per-click or per-slot, unbounded
Volume roles where reach matters more than fit, and hiring for functions outside engineering at the same time.
Any role with real platform ownership. "Data engineer" on a generalist site returns SQL analysts and report builders, and the engineer who has run a streaming pipeline in production is buried under them.
A recruitment agency
Typically 15–25% of first-year salary
Heads of data platform and principal engineers, and any search for a specific stack background where people are approached rather than advertised to.
Roles you can attract directly. On a £90k salary the fee is most of a hiring budget.
Who actually reads this board
A smaller audience than a generalist site, and one that reads the stack. People arrive here because they build data platforms for a living and want to see who is hiring for Spark, Kafka, dbt, Snowflake and Databricks this month — not because a feed put a job in front of them.

How the live roles are worked
How the advert reaches them
- Search and Google Jobs
- Every listing is structured for Google Jobs and indexed on the board, so it keeps working for the whole run.
- Saved alerts
- Candidates subscribe to a specialism, a salary floor and a location. Matching roles email out as they publish.
- The weekly digest
- One email, curated, read by people who are not actively applying yet — which is where most senior candidates sit.
- The rest of the network
- Add any of the other fifteen boards for +£75 each. Only worth it where the field genuinely overlaps.

What Data Engineering roles pay in the UK
Built from the salaries stated in live adverts on this board, not a survey — the range employers are advertising, and its midpoint.
Data engineering pay moves with the stack and with how much of the platform the role owns. An advert that names the band and the tools it actually runs today draws the engineers who have run them; one that hides the number reads as a budget still being argued.
