We are seeking a new addition for our Data Labs Team to assist in the continued development and transformation processes that will ensure Warwick remains a leading and world recognised university for academia and research.

As the Data Engineer you will be responsible for leveraging Azure Data Factory and DBT to design, develop, and maintain robust data pipelines and scalable data models. Your work will directly contribute to enhancing data accessibility, quality, and analytics capabilities within the university.

Duties and Responsibilities

Technical work to model data and design and edvelop Data Pipelines:

▪ Utilize Azure Data Factory to design and develop scalable and efficient data pipelines, encompassing data extraction and loading processes. Integrate data from various sources, including internal systems, third-party applications, and external data providers.

▪ Utilize DBT (Data Build Tool) to create and manage data transformation processes, ensuring consistent and reliable data output.

▪ Implement and maintain DataVault and Kimball-style data models to ensure efficient storage, retrieval, and analysis of data.

▪ Monitor and optimize the performance of data pipelines and data warehouses, identifying and resolving bottlenecks and inefficiencies.

▪ Implement data security measures, including access controls and encryption, to safeguard sensitive information. Ensure compliance with relevant data privacy and protection regulations, such as GDPR.

Data Quality Assurance

▪ Implement data quality checks and validation processes within the pipelines to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency of data. Collaborate with data governance, architects, system owners and end users to ensure quality issues are addressed as needed.

Documentation

▪ Create and maintain technical documentation, including data pipeline specifications, data models, and transformation logic, to facilitate knowledge sharing and support future enhancements.

Collaboration

▪ Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders, to understand requirements and deliver solutions that meet their data needs.

Requirements

* Degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.

* Strong experience working as a Data Engineer, preferably in a cloud-based environment.

* Experience with cloud-based data storage platforms, preferably Snowflake, Azure SQL Data Warehouse or AWS Redshift.

* Solid practical experience and understanding of DataVault and Kimball-style data warehousing methodologies.

* Proficient in SQL and data querying languages for data manipulation and analysis.

* Proficiency in Azure Data Factory and DBT, with a demonstrated ability to build scalable and reliable data pipelines and transformation processes.

* Familiarity with data modelling concepts and techniques, including dimensional modelling.

* Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to analyse complex data-related issues and provide effective solutions.

* Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and engage with stakeholders at various levels.

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.
