Senior Data Engineer

Remote UK, £90,000 to £100,000

This is an opportunity to join a fast scaling, digital first consumer platform at a pivotal point in its data journey. They are investing heavily in their data infrastructure and are building a high performing, software led data engineering team to support real time, high volume analytics across the business. You will have genuine influence over how data engineering is done, working on modern tooling and best practice from day one.

The Company

They are a UK based, consumer facing digital platform operating in a highly regulated online environment. Since launching less than a decade ago, the business has grown rapidly, supported by significant recent funding and a strong focus on product, user experience and responsible engagement. Data is central to their growth strategy, and they are building a modern, scalable analytics platform to support this ambition. The team operates fully remotely across the UK and Europe.

The Role

  • Design, build and own end to end data pipelines supporting real time and batch analytics
  • Work on high volume, low latency data use cases with a strong focus on reliability and scalability
  • Develop production grade data solutions using software engineering best practices such as CI/CD, testing and version control
  • Contribute to the design of data models and analytics layers used across the business
  • Help implement and mature staging, testing and deployment processes across the data platform
  • Collaborate closely with analytics, product and engineering teams to enable better decision making

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience as a data engineer in modern, cloud based environments
  • Advanced Python and SQL, with experience using PySpark or similar distributed processing frameworks
  • Experience building and maintaining data pipelines in AWS using services such as S3, Glue or EKS
  • Hands on experience with modern analytics stacks such as Snowflake, dbt and Iceberg
  • Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Dagster or Airflow
  • Strong understanding of data modelling concepts and analytics best practice
  • A software engineering mindset, including Git, testing and CI/CD workflows

What They Offer

  • The chance to help shape a growing data platform and engineering culture
  • Clear progression opportunities as the data team continues to expand
  • Exposure to complex, real world data challenges at scale

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data engineering jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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 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.
