Data Consultant

£80,000–£85,000

London / South East | Hybrid with secure site work

Ncounter is working with a highly specialised AI and data consultancy delivering advanced analytics and machine learning capability into some of the UK’s most secure environments. They are growing their engineering team and are looking for a DV Cleared Data Engineer to play a key role in building complex data platforms that directly support critical decision making.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing, building and optimising data pipelines within highly controlled, high impact programmes. You will work across modern data ecosystems, integrating large scale datasets, developing robust ETL processes and enabling the deployment of AI and machine learning solutions into operational settings. The work is technically challenging, often requiring creative problem solving in constrained environments where performance, security and reliability are essential.

The organisation is at the forefront of applying AI within Defence and Government, with strong exposure to platforms such as Palantir and similar large scale data integration technologies. You will be working closely with both technical teams and end users, translating real world problems into scalable, production grade solutions.

Key experience required:

• Active DV Clearance and willingness to work within secure UK environments

• Strong Data Engineering background with solid programming skills in Python and SQL

• Proven experience designing and building ETL pipelines and data workflows at scale

• Experience working across cloud and on prem data platforms

• Exposure to machine learning or AI driven systems within production environments

• Understanding of complex data integration challenges within enterprise or secure settings

• Ability to engage with stakeholders and operate effectively in delivery focused teams

This role would suit someone from a Defence, National Security, or consultancy background who enjoys working on technically demanding problems with real world impact.

If you are looking to apply your data engineering expertise within cutting edge AI programmes and secure environments, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.

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.
