Data Engineer

Remote (UK-based) | Occasional travel for team collaboration

Full-time | Healthcare Staffing Sector

About the Role

We’re looking for a Data Engineer to design, build, and optimise scalable, secure, and high-performing data solutions that power a growing national healthcare staffing business.

This is a key, senior technical role within the data function. You’ll work closely with the Lead Technology Architect to define and implement how data is structured, governed, and utilised across the organisation. You’ll have real ownership and the opportunity to shape the future of data across the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Azure & Data Architecture

Design and implement scalable data architecture across Azure services

Optimise Azure environments for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency

Manage governance frameworks, tagging, and cloud spend controls

Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / ARM templates)

Maintain disaster recovery, backup, and rollback strategies

Data Pipelines & Integration

Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT pipelines

Orchestrate data workflows using Azure Data Factory

Enhance Databricks (Delta Lake) medallion architecture

Implement real-time and near real-time data processing

Monitor pipelines with automated alerting

Data Modelling & Governance

Design scalable data models for operational and reporting needs

Develop dimensional and reference data models

Maintain data documentation, lineage, and governance frameworks

Implement audit trails and data access logging

Business Intelligence & Reporting

Build and optimise Power BI semantic layers and data marts

Ensure high-quality, reliable, and performant reporting data

Implement data refresh strategies and incremental loads

Configure secure access including Row-Level Security

Application & API Data Services

Develop and maintain API endpoints

Ensure consistency across CRM systems and web platforms

Implement caching and mobile-first data strategies

Security & Compliance

Implement secure data sharing and encryption standards

Ensure best practice security across all data assets

What We’re Looking For

Essential Skills

Strong experience with Azure (Data Factory, Databricks, Azure SQL, Storage, Logic Apps)

Advanced T-SQL, database design, and performance tuning

Proven experience building data pipelines and integrations (ETL/ELT)

Strong Power BI skills (DAX, Power Query, semantic modelling)

Solid understanding of data security (OAuth, SAML, encryption)

Experience with cloud cost optimisation and governance

Experience

5+ years in Data Engineering or similar role

Proven delivery of scalable cloud-based data solutions

Experience working with complex, multi-system integrations

Experience in regulated industries (e.g. healthcare) is a plus

Desirable

Databricks / Apache Spark

Azure DevOps & CI/CD pipelines

Microsoft Fabric / Synapse

CRM integrations (e.g. Eclipse, CareLineLive)

Power Platform (Power Apps / Automate)

Data warehouse / lakehouse architecture

What You’ll Bring

A proactive, self-driven approach with strong ownership

Exceptional attention to detail and documentation

Ability to translate technical concepts into business value

A collaborative mindset across technical and non-technical teams

Curiosity and a drive to continuously improve systems and processes

What’s in It for You

Remote-first working with flexibility

Opportunity to own and shape a modern data platform

Exposure to a diverse tech stack (Azure, Databricks, Power BI, APIs)

Work in a growing, purpose-driven healthcare organisation

Real impact on business performance and decision-making

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.
