Your new company
An ambitious and well-established organisation is seeking a Server & Storage Infrastructure Engineer to join its high-performing IT function. Operating across large-scale, complex environments, this business delivers critical services and innovative solutions that connect technology, data, and people. You will be joining a collaborative and forward-thinking team that is committed to continuous improvement, technical excellence and supporting its people to develop and thrive.

Your new role
You will play a key role in the design, implementation and ongoing support of enterprise-level infrastructure solutions. Working as part of a team of subject-matter experts, you will focus on delivering robust, scalable and secure server and storage platforms.

As the Server and Solutions Engineer, you will take ownership of technical design work, including high-level and low-level design documentation, and take ownership of the delivery life cycle from requirements gathering through to implementation and testing. You will provide third line support, contribute to strategic infrastructure decisions and ensure solutions meet both current and future business needs.


You will work closely with stakeholders across the organisation, engaging in technical discussions, influencing best practice and providing leadership on infrastructure projects. The role requires a proactive approach, strong problem-solving capability and the confidence to operate within a fast-paced, project-driven environment.


What you will need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will bring strong experience delivering infrastructure solutions within large enterprise environments, alongside deep technical knowledge across server and storage technologies.


You will have proven expertise with Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure, including design and implementation, alongside a strong understanding of HPE enterprise storage and server platforms. Experience with Veeam backup and replication is essential, as is a solid grounding in Microsoft Server technologies, including Active Directory and associated security features.


A good understanding of core networking principles such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI is required. You will be comfortable working at both a technical and stakeholder level, demonstrating excellent communication skills and the ability to lead technical discussions and guide project teams.


Additional experience with Linux, Microsoft SCOM, or server management tools would be advantageous, as would relevant certifications.


What you will get in return
In return, you will join an organisation that places real emphasis on employee development, offering structured training opportunities and the chance to work with modern technologies in a supportive environment.


A salary of up to £55,000 (possibly some flexibility in this depending on your experience), flexible and hybrid working arrangements, and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your wellbeing, lifestyle and long-term career progression. The organisation is committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative culture where individuals are empowered to succeed.

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.
