You’ll join a small, friendly, and highly capable team, working at the heart of their platform, developing and scaling a core web application used across multiple continents. This is a business that combines smart IoT hardware with clever algorithms to solve real-world problems — and your code will play a key role in how they deliver that.

You’ll be given autonomy from day one, contributing to the direction of the product, working closely with stakeholders from across the business, and helping to refine priorities. There’s lots of variety, interesting challenges, and a chance to shape things technically as one of the early hires into the dev team.

What you’ll need:

Strong commercial experience with Python

Solid SQL skills (raw and/or ORM)

Experience working across the full software lifecycle

Ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

Bonus experience (not essential):

HTML/JavaScript and modern web architectures

CI/CD (GitHub Actions ideally)

AWS – especially in relation to security and scalability

Automated testing (e.g. Selenium/WebDriver)

Agile practices

What’s on offer:

Salary to £80k

Employee share options

25 days holiday + bank holidays

Development budget & strong progression

How to Find Hidden Data Engineering Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & More

As UK organisations continue to scale their data capabilities, the role of the data engineer has become one of the most vital in the digital economy. From designing pipelines and managing infrastructure to enabling machine learning models, data engineers are the backbone of every data-driven organisation. But while demand is high, the most rewarding roles are often never posted publicly. In this article, we’ll show you how to discover hidden data engineering jobs in the UK by strategically engaging with professional bodies like the BCS, IET, TechUK, and UK data communities. By joining specialist groups, attending CPD events, and using member directories, you can unlock a wave of unseen job leads—and connect with hiring managers long before roles are advertised.

How to Get a Better Data Engineering Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be unexpected and unsettling, especially in a field as technically demanding as data engineering. But the good news is: your skills are still in high demand. The UK continues to see strong growth in data infrastructure, cloud analytics, machine learning pipelines, and data governance roles. Whether you're a big data engineer, ETL specialist, cloud data platform expert, or someone working in real-time streaming and pipelines, there are new opportunities to rebuild and rebrand your career. This guide is designed to help UK-based data engineers bounce back after a redundancy, with a step-by-step roadmap to relaunch into a stronger, better-aligned role.

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.
