No sponsorship, post-grad visa not available

A high-visibility opportunity with a values-led organisation modernising its data platform and refreshing its data strategy. You'll be trusted early, work directly with stakeholders across the business, and build the foundations that power better insight, smarter decisions, and real-world impact.
This suits someone with 2+ years' experience who wants to step up, take ownership, and grow quickly in a supportive environment. Communication is central here, you'll succeed by translating business questions into robust, trusted data assets, and by bringing people with you on the journey.

What you'll do
•

Help shape and deliver a refreshed data strategy and modern intelligence platform
•

Build reliable, scalable ELT/ETL pipelines into a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar)
•

Develop and optimise core data models and transformations (dimensional, analytics-ready, built to last)
•

Create trusted data products that enable self-service analytics across the organisation
•

Improve data quality, monitoring, performance, and cost efficiency
•

Partner with analysts, BI, and non technical stakeholders to turn questions into production-grade data assets
•

Contribute to standards, best practice, and reusable engineering frameworks
•

Support responsible AI tooling, including programmatic LLM workflows where relevant

What you'll bring
•

2+ years' experience in data engineering within a modern cloud stack
•

Strong SQL, plus a solid data modelling foundation
•

Python preferred (or similar) for pipeline development and automation
•

Cloud exposure (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
•

Familiarity with orchestration and analytics engineering tools (dbt, Airflow, or similar)
•

Strong habits around governance, security, documentation, Git, and CI/CD

What will make you stand out in this business
•

Clear, confident communication, you can explain technical choices in plain English
•

Strong stakeholder mindset, you ask the right questions and align on outcomes early
•

Ownership, curiosity, and a bias for building things properly

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.
