Type: Permanent

A growing, data-driven organisation is investing in modern tooling and building out its cloud data platform. With a collaborative data team of 19 and a clear roadmap in place, this is a great time to get involved and go on the journey with a business in the early stages of deploying its Azure data stack.

About you

This role suits a Data Engineer with 3+ years’ experience who enjoys hands-on engineering work and wants to support the design and build of a modern platform while continuing to learn and develop in a supportive, team-first environment.

The opportunity
  • Join a supportive, collaborative and growing data & analytics team
  • Contribute to the rollout of a modern Azure data platform
  • Support the design and build of scalable data pipelines
  • Work closely with analysts and stakeholders on real use cases
  • Gain exposure to platform architecture and engineering best practice
  • Be part of a long-term data maturity journey
What you’ll be doing
  • Building and maintaining cloud-based data pipelines
  • Supporting the design and implementation of the Azure data platform
  • Developing data transformation and integration workflows
  • Applying good data modelling and warehousing practices
  • Supporting data quality, testing and technical documentation
  • Collaborating with analytics and business teams to translate requirements into solutions
Experience we’re looking for
  • Around 3+ years’ experience in a data engineering or similar role
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure data services
  • Exposure to tools such as Azure Data Factory, Data Lake, Synapse and/or Databricks
  • Strong SQL and working knowledge of Python
  • Understanding of core data modelling and warehousing concepts
  • Experience working with multiple data sources
  • Collaborative mindset and strong problem-solving approach
Nice to have
  • Exposure to CI/CD or DevOps practices
  • Experience working with APIs and integration patterns
  • Experience with semi-structured data such as JSON or XML

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to grow with a modern data function, contribute to platform design, and deepen their Azure engineering capability within a genuinely collaborative team.

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.
