Our client, a leading UK law firm ranked as one of the best companies to work for in the country, is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join their growing AI team on a permanent basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative law firm where the utilisation of AI has become fundamental to their business strategy.

Reporting to the Head of AI & Innovation, and working with a small team of Data Engineers, you will play a key role in building a greenfield hybrid data platform to support firm-wide analytics and client-facing AI products (which the Senior Data Engineer will help to build). The successful Senior Data Engineer will have experience across cloud and on-prem technologies and a keen, demonstrable interest in working with AI.

Essential skills:

  • A proven end-end project leader
  • SQL
  • Python
  • Cloud data platforms (ideally Azure / Fabric)
  • SQL Server
  • Strong, demonstrable interest in AI

This is a rare opportunity to join a law firm where AI is a genuine strategic priority, working in a greenfield environment with the backing to build and shape a modern data platform from the ground up. This role will suit someone who enjoys variety in their day-to-day work and has ideally been involved in the build of a brand-new data platform previously.

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.
