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

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
