Slalom\'s Data Capability

We believe in creating modern data solutions that drive results. We work with a range of cloud partnerships including AWS, Azure, Snowflake and Databricks. We are interested in individuals who are passionate and curious about what is next.

The Role

As a Data Engineer, your primary responsibility is to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that enables efficient handling of large volumes of data. This involves creating data pipelines, leveraging cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, using tools like Terraform for automation, and programming in Python and SQL for data processing. You collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure data integrity and enable data-driven decision-making.

You and what you bring
  • Deep understanding of platform engineering principles, including designing and building robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant data platforms to support diverse data processing and analytics requirements.
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect, implement, and optimize data pipelines and workflows, ensuring efficient data ingestion, processing, and delivery within the data ecosystem.
  • Experience with AWS or Azure cloud services for data storage, processing, and analytics, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security of data infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in one or more data platforms such as Snowflake, Fabric, and Databricks, with a strong ability to design, develop, and implement data solutions that meet client needs.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and SQL for data manipulation, transformation, and automation tasks.
  • Experience with Terraform for infrastructure as code (IaC), enabling provisioning and management of cloud resources, and ensuring consistency across environments.
  • Expertise in configuration-as-code and CI/CD practices using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, including version control, automated testing, deployment workflows, and pipeline monitoring.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to work collaboratively with a high-performing team.
  • Power BI or Tableau experience is highly desirable.
  • Desirable consulting experience, demonstrating the ability to deliver high-impact solutions, engage with clients effectively, and contribute to the growth and development of consulting capabilities within the organisation.

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.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

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.
