ANALYTICS ENGINEER

LONDON/HYBRID

UP TO £60,000

This is a rare opportunity to join an organisation at an early stage of its data journey, where you will have genuine influence over how data is designed, modelled, and used across the business. You will sit at the heart of a growing data function, working end to end from ingestion through to reporting, with strong exposure to both technical delivery and stakeholder engagement.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Analytics Engineer will:

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Databricks.
  • Integrate data from core business systems such as finance, HR, and operational platforms.
  • Develop and improve a lakehouse architecture, supporting ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers.
  • Create robust, well-structured data models using best practice approaches such as Kimball and star schema.
  • Work closely with business stakeholders to translate requirements into clear, usable data assets.
  • Support and enhance the Power BI reporting layer, including semantic models and DAX.
  • Help establish data standards, patterns, and ways of working as the data function grows.

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

  • Strong commercial experience working in a cloud-based data environment, ideally Azure.
  • Solid SQL capability with experience building reliable, scalable data models.
  • Hands-on experience with Power BI, including data modelling and reporting.
  • Experience working with modern data platforms and concepts such as lakehouse or medallion architecture.
  • Exposure to Databricks for data transformation and pipeline development is highly desirable.
  • Confident communicator who can work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data engineering hiring over the next three years — Spark, dbt, lakehouse and AI. Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
