*** Data Engineer - Hybrid in London - Life Sciences Organisation - Permanent ***


Are you ready to shape a secure, scalable, and modern cloud platform designed to power advanced scientific and data-driven work? Planet Pharma are looking for a Data Engineer to lead the development of an Azure-centric environment that supports data science, machine learning, and high-performance compute workloads.


About the Role

In this role, you will design and manage an Azure-first cloud estate—ensuring it is secure, compliant, cost-effective, and high-performing. You’ll architect Trusted Research Environments (TREs), build repeatable infrastructure using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate closely with data engineering and scientific teams to deliver robust compute capabilities.

You’ll play a key part in driving cloud strategy, embedding strong governance practices, and delivering enterprise-grade architectures aligned with modern data platform principles.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement Azure cloud infrastructure, including networking, identity, storage, Kubernetes, and HPC solutions.
  • Architect and manage secure Trusted Research Environments (TREs) in line with governance and safe data principles.
  • Provide compute solutions for bioinformatics, ML, and data-intensive workloads.
  • Drive automation using Terraform, Azure DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Embed security, compliance, and observability across all cloud components.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align cloud architecture with data platform strategy.
  • Mentor engineering teams and translate technical requirements into scalable solutions.


Essential Experience

  • Hands-on Azure experience across networking, compute, security, storage, and automation.
  • Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills.
  • Experience designing and delivering modern IT/cloud architectures.
  • Knowledge of modern data/ML platforms (e.g., Databricks, Azure ML, Synapse, MLflow, Airflow).


Desirable

  • Disaster recovery and cloud security best practices.
  • Experience in research, life sciences, or health data environments.
  • Data sharing agreements and DPIAs.
  • Snowflake experience.
  • Terraform or Bicep/ARM proficiency.
  • Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, or security certifications (e.g., AZ-305, AZ-500, CKA/CKS, CISSP, CCSP).

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.
