You’ll also benefit from:

A permanent, full-time position in a well-backed business that invests in its tech

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

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most crucial roles in modern technology. While data science and artificial intelligence often attract the headlines, it is data engineering that provides the foundation. By building pipelines, managing databases, and ensuring data quality, data engineers make it possible for organisations to analyse, innovate, and grow. In the UK, data engineering is booming. Banks rely on engineers to process financial transactions in real time. Retailers depend on them to analyse customer behaviour. Healthcare providers use engineered data to fuel predictive analytics in the NHS. Demand is so strong that data engineering has become one of the fastest-growing roles in the tech sector, with salaries reflecting its importance. But the story doesn’t stop here. As AI, quantum computing, edge intelligence, sustainability, and regulation reshape how we manage information, the role of data engineers will evolve dramatically. Many of the most important data engineering jobs of the next two decades don’t exist yet. This article explores why new roles are coming, what they might look like, how current jobs will change, why the UK is positioned to lead, and how professionals can prepare.
