A newly established data function within a growing organisation is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help shape and scale modern data capabilities. This is a hands-on role with high visibility, ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and can confidently represent the data function across a range of projects.

About the Role:

The tech stack centres around AWS and Databricks, and you'll have the chance to drive impactful data initiatives from day one.

Key Responsibilities:

Build, maintain, and scale reliable data pipelines
Work across AWS services (Redshift, Glue, Lambdas) and Databricks
Design and evolve data models, data lakes, and warehouse solutions
Apply CI/CD practices using GitHub and modern DevOps workflows
Engage with cross-functional teams and vendors to deliver high-quality data solutions

What We're Looking For:

Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Databricks, and Python
Proven ability to work with large-scale datasets and cloud architectures
Deep understanding of data modelling, warehousing, and pipeline development
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control
A proactive, confident communicator who thrives on challenge

Certifications are a bonus, but practical, applied knowledge is the priority. The right person will be technically strong, delivery-focused, and comfortable representing the data team in business-critical settings.

This is a great opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-evolving environment that values ownership, learning, and collaboration.

Data Engineering Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads data engineers today Ask any Data Engineer elbow‑deep in late‑arriving CDC streams, an Analytics Engineer stockpiling dbt models, or a DataOps Lead juggling Airflow failures: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes monthly. New GPU‑hungry AI workloads spike storage costs, lakehouse toolchains displace legacy marts, & suddenly real‑time streaming isn’t “nice to have” but the lion’s share of your backlog. Each shift nudges salary bands. A PDF salary guide printed in 2024 under‑reports pay the moment Databricks announces another acquisition or HMRC mandates digital provenance. To provide an up‑to‑date benchmark, DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Plug in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; out pops a realistic 2025 salary. No stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, details the forces pushing data‑engineering pay upward, & offers five practical actions to lift your value in the next ninety days.
