Data Engineer (with Data Analytics Background)

Location: City of London

Employment Type: Full-time

Salary: £90,000–£100,000

Sector: Fintech


We’re looking for a well-rounded, communicative Data Engineer with a strong background in data analytics and experience within the Fintech sector. This role is ideal for someone who began their career as a Data Analyst and has since transitioned into a more engineering-focused position, someone who enjoys understanding the business context just as much as building the data solutions behind it.


You’ll work extensively with Python, Snowflake, SQL, and dbt to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-quality data pipelines and models that support decision-making across the business. This is a hands-on, collaborative role, suited to someone who’s confident communicating with data, product, and engineering teams, not a “heads-down coder” type.


Top 4 Core Skills

  • Python — workflow automation, data processing, and ETL/ELT development.
  • Snowflake — scalable data architecture, performance optimisation, and governance.
  • SQL — expert-level query writing and optimisation for analytics and transformations.
  • dbt (Data Build Tool) — modular data modelling, testing, documentation, and version control.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain dbt models and SQL transformations to support analytical and operational use cases.
  • Develop and maintain Python workflows for data ingestion, transformation, and automation.
  • Engineer scalable, performant Snowflake pipelines and data models aligned with business and product needs.
  • Partner closely with analysts, product managers, and engineers to translate complex business requirements into data-driven solutions.
  • Write production-grade SQL and ensure data quality through testing, documentation, and version control.
  • Promote best practices around data reliability, observability, and maintainability.
  • (Optional but valued) Contribute to Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Terraform, GitHub Actions).


Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in data-focused roles, ideally progressing from Data Analyst to Data Engineer.
  • Proven Fintech or Payments industry experience — strong understanding of the data challenges and regulatory context within the sector.
  • Deep proficiency in Python, Snowflake, SQL, and dbt.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across data, product, and business teams.
  • Solid grasp of modern data modelling techniques (star/snowflake schemas, data contracts, documentation).
  • Experience working in cloud-based environments; familiarity with Terraform or similar IaC tools is a plus.
  • Proactive, delivery-focused, and able to contribute quickly in a fast-moving environment.


Nice to Have

  • Experience with Power BI or other data visualisation tools.
  • Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster.
  • Understanding of CI/CD practices in data and analytics engineering.
  • Knowledge of data governance, observability, and security best practices in cloud environments.

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.
