Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering | £140k | Remote (UK) | Open Source + Geospatial + AI-adjacent


We’re working with a forward-thinking data consultancy that’s looking for ahands-on Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering— someone who blends deep technical ability with creativity, and loves solving unusual data challenges with open-source tools.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of strategic data engineering projects — helping clients build modern, scalable data platforms while leading from the front with your own engineering expertise.


What you'll be working with:

  • Python-first data engineering, building custom pipelines, automation tools and ingestion workflows.
  • PostgreSQL + PostGIS: serious spatial querying, indexing and geospatial wrangling.
  • Cloud-native infrastructure: AWS / GCP / Azure (your pick) — but with a proper understanding of how it all works under the hood.
  • Modern ETL/ELTusing Airflow, Spark, Dagster, Prefect — you choose the right tool for the job.
  • CI/CD for data: Git, Docker, automated testing, efficient and scalable workflows.


️ What sets this role apart:

  • Heavy emphasis ongeospatial data engineering— working with OSM, map tile rendering, Leaflet.js, Kepler.gl, and data visualisation.
  • Work on projects blendingprivate + public + non-traditional data sources— edge devices, IoT, NLP pipelines, and custom data processing challenges.
  • Preference for open-source tools (QGIS, SpaCy, MapTiler etc.) over proprietary systems.
  • A chance to shape the strategy, lead delivery, and stay close to the tech.


You might be a fit if you:

  • Have a deep understanding of systems, efficiency, and optimisation (e.g., edge computing, AI-on-device, or automation with Raspberry Pi).
  • Are a natural problem-solver who can connect data points others miss.
  • Enjoy tackling messy, unconventional datasets.
  • Have a track record ofpersonal projects, open-source contributions or building beyond the 9–5

Negotiating Your Data Science Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Data science has rapidly evolved from a niche specialty to a cornerstone of strategic decision-making in virtually every industry—from finance and healthcare to retail, entertainment, and AI research. As a mid‑senior data scientist, you’re not just running predictive models or generating dashboards; you’re shaping business strategy, product innovation, and customer experiences. This level of influence is why employers are increasingly offering compensation packages that go beyond a baseline salary. Yet, many professionals still tend to focus almost exclusively on base pay when negotiating a new role. This can be a costly oversight. Companies vying for data science talent—especially in the UK, where demand often outstrips supply—routinely offer equity, bonuses, flexible work options, and professional development funds in addition to salary. Recognising these opportunities and effectively negotiating them can have a substantial impact on your total earnings and long-term career satisfaction. This guide explores every facet of negotiating a data science job offer—from understanding equity structures and bonus schemes to weighing crucial perks like remote work and ongoing skill development. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped to secure a holistic package aligned with your market value, your life goals, and the tremendous impact you bring to any organisation.
