Data Migration Engineer

Location: Hybrid - 1-2 days a week in London

Salary: £70-90k + 10% Bonus

Job Type: Permanent

Sponsorship: Not Available

Role Summary:

We are looking for a Data Migration Engineer to help us achieve a multi-system, multi-client, company-wide migration. In this role you will work closely with the owners of our legacy platforms to understand their data, then dive right in and create the queries and processes necessary to move everything to the new. As migration work wraps up, the role will transition to leveraging Airflow and other tooling to automate operational and financial processes. This is a great role for exceptionally outgoing individuals as all work will require extensive collaboration with engineers and stakeholders across many teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Collaborate with engineers of legacy systems to understand what data is available and the form it takes

Design queries & scripts to extract and transform data from the old to the new

Collaborate with our Principal Data Engineer to come up with a cold-storage solution for data that will need to persist for regulatory reasons

Work with our solutions architect to design the data process' to be run the day each partner is migrated

Build and maintain ETLs and workflow automation using Snowflake and Apache Airflow

Thoroughly document all learnings and work-in-progress using version control

Implement data quality checks and reconciliations at all steps in the process

Collaborate with platform/infra teams on security, access controls, and secrets management

Required Qualifications:

5+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or backend engineering with significant data pipeline ownership

Demonstrated past success in a stakeholder management heavy data role

Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical knowledge to non-technical colleagues

Hands-on experience building and operating production workflows in Apache Airflow

Hands-on experience delivering production-grade transformations in dbt, including tests and documentation

Strong SQL skills and experience working across multiple SQL dialects.

Experience with data modeling and warehousing concepts (facts/dimensions, slowly changing dimensions, incremental loading).

Proficiency with Git-based workflows, code reviews, and CI/CD practices.

Preferred Qualifications:

Have used Azure cloud services previously

Experience with streaming/event-driven systems e.g., Kafka/Kinesis

Experience with infrastructure as code e.g., Terraform and containerization e.g., Docker/Kubernetes

Familiarity with data governance, cataloging, lineage, and privacy/security best practices.

Use of SQLServer in a past role.

Familiarity with Snowflake and/or PostgreSQL

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.
