About the role

At Terra, we work with one of the most sensitive data in industry: Health data. We have to ensure secure handling but at the same time extract insightful information out of the billions of data points we ingest.

You will work closely with product and engineering teams to:

  1. Develop and maintain our services monitoring system, including anomaly detection
  2. Improve efficiency and decrease costs within our pipelines for health data handling/storage
  3. Build models to draw/extract actionable insights requested from customers from Health Data

As a team of athletes, we all have wearables monitoring our data and are synced to Terra. As a data engineer in Terra, you will have the privilege to test and build with your teammates data!

We currently use AWS and GCP along with programming languages such as Python and R for data processing. We also work with Open-Telemetry data from services.

What We Value

We believe outstanding engineers don’t need extensive training from big-tech companies but rather are able to learn through passion, curiosity, and resourcefulness. They should consider engineering as a craft, continuously refining their skills, solving challenges creatively, and learning from failures. It's this dedication to growth and excellence that makes you an outstanding engineer.

Must haves:

  • Must approach engineering as an artisan, treating it as a craft to be perfected
  • Must be fast. We operate at 200mph, and so do you.
  • Must be relentless. We never stop, so you are even faster than us.
  • Must be customer-driven. We think customers first and so should you.
  • Must be driven and go above and beyond.
  • Must be able to explain and communicate clearly.
  • Must be prepared to challenge us and disagree. We are thinking and acting as a team.
  • Must be able to work autonomously.
  • Must want to work hard.
  • Above all, you are genuinely a nice person.

Big plus: You are an athlete, or care about quantifying your data

Salary depending on experience: £33,000 - £80,000 + stock options

Why Data Engineering Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For many years, data engineering in the UK meant designing pipelines, moving data between systems, and ensuring analysts had what they needed. Today, the field is expanding. With cloud platforms, machine learning, real-time analytics and the explosion of sensitive personal data, employers expect data engineers to do much more. Modern data engineering is no longer just about code and storage. It requires legal awareness, ethical judgement, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. These disciplines shape how data is collected, processed, explained and trusted. In this article, we’ll explore why data engineering careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design now influence job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive.

Data Engineering Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Engineering Department

Data has become the lifeblood of modern organisations. Every sector in the UK—finance, healthcare, retail, government, technology—is increasingly relying on insights derived from data to drive decisions, deliver products, and improve operations. But raw data on its own isn’t enough. To make data useful, reliable, secure, and scalable, companies must build strong data engineering teams. If you’re recruiting for data engineering or seeking a role, understanding the structure of such a team and who does what is essential. This article breaks down the typical roles in a modern data engineering department, how they collaborate, required skills and qualifications, expected UK salaries, common challenges, and advice on structuring and growing a data engineering team.
