Join us as a Data Engineer



  • You’ll be the voice of our customers, using data to tell their stories and put them at the heart of all decision-making
  • We’ll look to you to drive the build of effortless, digital first customer experiences
  • If you’re ready for a new challenge and want to make a far-reaching impact through your work, this could be the opportunity you’re looking for

What you'll do

As a Data Engineer, you’ll be looking to simplify our organisation by developing innovative data driven solutions through data pipelines, modelling and ETL design, inspiring to be commercially successful while keeping our customers, and the bank’s data, safe and secure.


You’ll drive customer value by understanding complex business problems and requirements to correctly apply the most appropriate and reusable tool to gather and build data solutions. You’ll support our strategic direction by engaging with the data engineering community to deliver opportunities, along with carrying out complex data engineering tasks to build a scalable data architecture.


Your responsibilities will also include:



  • Building advanced automation of data engineering pipelines through removal of manual stages
  • Embedding new data techniques into our business through role modelling, training, and experiment design oversight
  • Delivering a clear understanding of data platform costs to meet your departments cost saving and income targets
  • Sourcing new data using the most appropriate tooling for the situation
  • Developing solutions for streaming data ingestion and transformations in line with our streaming strategy

The skills you'll need

To thrive in this role, you’ll need a strong experience of Snowflake for data warehousing along with writing efficient SQL and managing schemas. You’ll also bring proficiency in Airflow for orchestration and workflow management as well as hands on experience with AWS services particularly S3 and Lambda.


You'll have excellent communication skills with the ability to proactively engage and manage a wide range of stakeholders.


Additionally, you’ll need:



  • Expert level knowledge of ETL/ELT process along with in-depth knowledge of data warehousing and data modelling capabilities
  • Experience with Kafka concepts like producers, consumers and topics with the ability to integrate with streaming pipelines
  • Proficiency in Python for data engineering and version control systems such as Git
  • The ability to lead technical initiatives along with experience of mentoring junior colleagues
  • Knowledge of Snowflake performance tuning would be hugely beneficial

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.
