Description

London | Hybrid (Mon–Wed in office)

Salary up to £80,000 DOE

We’re partnering with a fast-growing AI-first SaaS company building a modern data and AI platform used by global clients. As they scale, they’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who thinks in systems, not projects .

Someone who understands what it takes to run data and ML pipelines in production, at scale, day after day.

SQL is the Latin of data: Essential, universal, the foundation.

But Python is your superpower: The place where you design algorithms, engineer clean solutions, automate intelligently, and write code that doesn’t just work today… it works next month, next quarter, and under load.

This role is for someone who builds with reliability, repeatability, and production readiness at the forefront, not someone who sees delivery as “done” when the notebook runs once.

The Opportunity

Build and optimise robust ETL/ELT pipelines across Azure, AWS, GCP, Snowflake or Databricks
Lead CI/CD automation, environment management and reliable deployments
Support production-grade ML pipelines that power real decisions
Create monitoring, alerting and data-quality controls for high-trust systems
Influence engineering culture with clean, scalable, maintainable code

All About You

3+ years in data engineering or cloud platform development
Strong SQL — but exceptional Python, with a real software engineering mindset
An instinct for scaling systems, not just completing projects
Experience deploying and maintaining production ML models
Understanding of orchestration, workflow tools and modern data architectures
A proactive, improvement driven approach to platform engineering

The Why ?

Shape a next-generation AI and data platform
Work in a high-ownership, high impact engineering environment
Help create a culture where production quality and pythonic excellence matter

However you see your career developing, whether you want to move into leadership, drive architectural direction, or stay hands-on and push the limits of modern data and AI engineering, this company will support and champion you. They’re committed to helping talented engineers grow in the direction that excites them most.

Still thinking about it… then this is not the role for you…. Excited ? Apply Now !!
