Own data quality end to end while shaping a modern data platform
  • Focus on data quality and governance, more than just pipelines.
  • Remote first with monthly trips to the office closest to you.
  • Real opportunity to grow and get involved in more projects and a transformation project.
We’re working with a large, complex organisation going through a major data transformation. They’re looking for a Data Engineer to take ownership of data quality across key systems, making sure the data going in is right and the data coming out can be trusted.

What you’ll be doing
You’d sit within a central data team working on a modern Microsoft stack (predominantly with Fabric), with strong backing and clear direction. Working alongside the Head of Data Transformation, you’ll be involved in creating, owning and improving how data is captured and used across the business.

You’ll get involved in building data products, working with streaming data, and using tools like Microsoft Fabric, KQL and SQL to deliver scalable solutions. You’ll work with SQL and PySpark to monitor, validate and improve incoming data, setting up control tables and checks that flag issues early. You’ll dig into problems at source, understand why they’re happening, and work with teams across the business to fix them.

Alongside your daily work you’ll have the chance to work across multiple projects. A big part of the role is stakeholder engagement. You’ll speak to operational teams, understand how data is entered into systems, and challenge where needed to improve standards. You’ll translate technical issues into clear business impact, helping teams see why data and quality matter. Sound like you? Apply below!

What experience you’ll need to apply
  • Background working as a Data Engineer (ideally with Fabric, KQL & SQL)
  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric or Azure
  • Strong SQL skills with experience writing complex queries
  • Experience using Python, ideally with PySpark
  • Proven experience improving or monitoring data quality
  • Experience building or supporting ETL or ELT pipelines
  • Comfortable working with stakeholders across the business
  • Confident communicator who can challenge and influence

What you’ll get in return for your experience
They’re offering a salary of up to £50,000. It’s a remote first setup, with monthly trips to the office closest to you, whether that’s South West, Midlands or South East. You’ll be joining a supportive team with a clear roadmap and the chance to shape how data quality is handled across the organisation. There’s real scope to grow, working with modern tools and large-scale data. You’ll also benefit from a strong focus on development and the chance to work on meaningful data challenges that impact the whole business.

What's next?

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.
