Senior Data Engineer

Leeds/Manchester - hybrid 2x week in office

Salary: up to £75,000

This is an opportunity to play a key role in building and improving a modern cloud data platform for a growing financial organisation. You will shape data architecture, deliver high-quality pipelines, and help uplift engineering standards in a team that values innovation, governance, and technical leadership.

The Company

They are a fast-growing financial services organisation with a strong presence across the UK. Their work spans commercial banking, fintech-focused services, and SME lending. With continued investment in data and technology, they are scaling their data capabilities to support new products, stronger analytics, and an ambitious transformation agenda. You will join a team focused on building a trusted, well-governed, and scalable data environment.

The Role

* Own the design, build, and optimisation of cloud-based ELT and ETL pipelines.

* Shape the data warehouse architecture and ensure data is prepared for analytics, reporting, and operational use.

* Improve existing processes and contribute to a modernised engineering approach.

* Introduce governance best practices including data quality, observability, lineage, and access control.

* Mentor a junior engineer and support the uplift of engineering standards.

* Contribute to potential migration projects and wider transformation initiatives.

* Collaborate with data, engineering, and business teams in an agile environment.

Your Skills and Experience

* Strong commercial experience working as a Data Engineer in a cloud environment.

* Proven capability with AWS, Python, SQL, and Airflow.

* Hands-on experience designing and maintaining data pipelines and data models.

* Knowledge of Redshift or similar cloud data warehouse tools.

* Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.

* Understanding of data governance, quality, and architectural best practices.

* Comfortable operating in fast-scaled environments such as fintechs, scale-ups, or modern engineering teams.

What They Offer

* Hybrid working with 2-3 days per week in the office.

* A collaborative culture and clear opportunities for technical growth.

* Exposure to modern tooling including AWS, Redshift, Airflow, Terraform, and dbt.

* The chance to shape a data platform and have meaningful influence on engineering standards.

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.
