Data Engineer
Term: Full-time, Permanent
Location: High Wycombe with hybrid remote working available
Salary: £50000 - £65000 pa depending on experience + excellent benefits
Focusrite are looking for an experienced data engineer to join our business intelligence team. You'll help us build and maintain a robust yet flexible data stack, delivering high quality information where it's needed (and keeping it secure where it's not!).
We make extensive use of SQL, dbt, Snowflake and Power BI, as well as various other tools. We work closely together using pair programming, peer review and DevOps practices. We relish the chance to learn new things, independently and from each other.
We are looking for someone who:

  • Is an SQL expert, able to quickly identify data issues with a pithy query.
  • Has opinions about permissions, schemas, APIs and models, and can share them collaboratively.
  • Knows how to structure, profile and monitor a data warehouse, and what to watch out for.
  • Is familiar with visualising data and delivery tools such as Power BI.
  • Has an interest in analysis and modelling as well as infrastructure.
    You don't mind doing the mundane stuff, because you set everything up to make the mundane stuff, well, mundane (and therefore easy and low risk). That leaves time build new data marts for our stakeholders, identify data pipelines to be improved and be a stickler for adhering to privacy regulations.
    Do you:
  • Have a knack for extracting requirements from big picture stakeholders?
  • Know who Inmon and Kimball are?
  • Have a background in economics, statistics or computing?
  • Enjoy helping people get the most from data?
  • Go on occasional nerdy tangents?
    If so, and if you've built a data stack that your colleagues trusted and depended on, we'd love to hear from you!

The Future of Data Engineering Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data has become the lifeblood of the digital economy. Every transaction, sensor reading, social interaction, and system log creates a stream of information that, if harnessed correctly, can fuel innovation across every sector. Data engineering sits at the heart of this process, enabling organisations to collect, structure, and deliver reliable data pipelines for analytics, artificial intelligence, and decision-making. In the UK, data engineering is already a thriving profession. From finance and retail to healthcare and manufacturing, companies are investing heavily in cloud-based platforms, real-time analytics, and AI-ready infrastructure. Salaries for data engineers are among the highest in technology, and demand continues to grow. Yet the discipline is still young. As emerging technologies reshape how data is collected, processed, and secured, many of the most important data engineering jobs of the future don’t even exist yet. This article explores why new roles will appear, what they might look like, how today’s jobs will evolve, why the UK is well-positioned, and how professionals can prepare.
