Senior Data Engineer

Location: 100% Remote (UK-based)

Employment Type: Permanent

Salary: Up to £75,000

Positions Available: 2

The Opportunity

We’re looking for two experienced Senior Data Engineers to join a growing data platform team delivering modern cloud-native data solutions at scale.

This role is ideal for self-starters who enjoy autonomy, ownership, and solving complex engineering challenges within a highly collaborative environment.

The core technology stack is Databricks on AWS, and candidates must have strong hands-on experience specifically with Databricks deployed in AWS environments. Experience with Databricks on other cloud platforms alone will not be sufficient, as the implementation approach and tooling differ significantly.

You’ll play a key role in designing and building scalable, governed, and high-performing data solutions across the full data engineering lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks, Python, SQL, and Spark

• Build and optimise Delta Lake architectures and data pipelines on AWS

• Implement ingestion frameworks using Databricks Autoloader

• Develop transformation workflows using Lakeflow / Delta Live Tables

• Work with Data Asset Bundles for deployment and environment management

• Support CI/CD and infrastructure automation across the data platform

• Ensure data quality, governance, lineage, and observability best practices

• Optimise cluster performance, orchestration, and cost efficiency

• Collaborate with architects, analysts, and wider engineering teams

• Contribute to platform standards, reusable frameworks, and engineering best practices

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong commercial experience as a Senior Data Engineer

• Proven expertise with Databricks on AWS (essential)

• Strong understanding of Spark, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architecture

• Hands-on experience with Databricks Autoloader and Lakeflow / DLT

• Experience using Data Asset Bundles within Databricks environments

• Strong AWS experience across modern cloud-native data platforms

• Good understanding of the full data engineering lifecycle

• Experience building scalable, maintainable, and production-grade data solutions

• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills

• Comfortable working independently with high levels of ownership and autonomy

Nice to Have

• CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code experience

• Experience with governance and metadata tooling

• Exposure to data observability and monitoring frameworks

• Previous experience working in fast-paced agile delivery environments

This is an excellent opportunity to join a modern engineering environment where you’ll have genuine influence over platform direction, architecture, and engineering standards.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
