Vortexa – Data Engineer

Vortexa is a fast‑growing international technology company solving the information gap in the energy industry by using massive satellite data and AI to provide a real‑time view of global seaborne energy flows.


Role Overview

You will design, build, and maintain the data production pipeline that powers Vortexa’s core SaaS platform. This involves ingesting terabytes of heterogeneous data, training and running complex AI models, and serving predictions to customers worldwide.


Key Responsibilities

  • Build and operate distributed, scalable data processing pipelines using AWS, Kubernetes, and Airflow.
  • Integrate raw satellite data with text and market data to generate high‑value forecasts (destination, cargo, vessel traffic, congestion, prices, etc.).
  • Automate data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, and deployment, ensuring 100 % uptime and fault‑tolerance.
  • Collaborate closely with data scientists, software engineers, and market analysts to translate research into production‑ready solutions.
  • Implement observability – logging, monitoring, and tracing – and improve pipeline performance and reliability.
  • Coach and mentor junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience building scalable backend pipelines that process terabytes of data daily.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals; fluency in Java and Python (knowledge of Rust is a plus).
  • Hands‑on with data lake technologies (Athena, S3), big‑data formats (Parquet, ORC, HDF5), and distributed storage.
  • Deep understanding of the full SDLC – design, code, review, test, deploy, and operations.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Apache Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming platforms.
  • Background in web scraping and information extraction.
  • Observability expertise: logging, monitoring, tracing.
  • Knowledge of cloud native tools and infrastructure as code.

Benefits & Culture

  • Equity options granted to all staff.
  • Private health insurance via Vitality.
  • Global volunteering programme.
  • Flexible hybrid work: remote and in‑office options.
  • Tech‑centric, fast‑moving environment that encourages ownership and experimentation.

Seniority & Employment

  • Mid‑Senior level
  • Full‑time
  • Location: London, England, United Kingdom (remote options)

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

Advertising data engineering jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.
