Senior Data Engineer

Are you looking for a role where you can implement cutting-edge data systems in a company making a real difference in healthcare? Do you want to be part of a mission-driven team revolutionising how healthcare teams communicate, while working in a hybrid setup that values collaboration and flexibility?
If you’re a Data Engineer with a passion for building scalable systems and solving complex data challenges, this could be the perfect role for you.

What’s in it for you?
You’ll receive a salary of up to £100K, alongside benefits including access to a flexible perks platform where you can choose private health insurance, wellness options, and more.
You’ll work in a hybrid environment, where you’ll collaborate three days a week in a vibrant Shoreditch office with your team. The office offers free healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, prepared by an in-house chef. You’ll also benefit from a £600 annual development budget, enhanced parental leave, and even a policy that allows you to work abroad for short periods.

What you’ll be doing
As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be the first hire in this role, reporting directly to the Head of Data. This is a hands-on position where you’ll run requirements gathering workshops and drive forward the data engineering capabilities. You’ll work with cross-functional product teams, collaborating with sub-teams in BI, Data Science & Analytics, and Data Engineering to align data strategies and optimise infrastructure.
Your work will include:
Data Transfers:

Solving the challenge of transferring large tables from SQL Server to Snowflake and ensuring data flows smoothly across the organisation.
Integration & Standardisation:

Integrating data across tools like Azure Data Factory, Python, and Snowflake, while standardising processes and building scalable systems.
Machine Learning Integration:

Supporting machine learning workflows by building and optimising data pipelines, with experience in either fine-tuning or deploying models to production

About you
You’ll bring strong expertise in:
Azure Data Factory:

Experience working at scale is highly valued.
Python:

Advanced skills to build and optimise data pipelines.
SQL : Proficient in querying and transforming data to ensure accuracy.
ETL : Experience with designing and managing ETL processes for data integration and transformation.
Cloud Environments:

Hands-on experience with Azure, including setting up and managing environments for production use.
Bonus points if you have experience setting up data production environments from scratch, including server configuration and environment setup, or if you've worked with SQL to Snowflake integrations. Experience navigating data security challenges, particularly in sensitive industries like healthcare, will also set you apart.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re motivated by improving healthcare, adaptable to change, and eager to own your work in a dynamic environment. Whether your background is in startups or larger organisations, your ability to build scalable, robust systems will make an impact.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
