Senior Data Engineer – Python Hybrid | Full‑time | Competitive Salary + Benefits A high‑growth, technology‑driven business is hiring a Senior Data Engineer to take ownership of its core data platform. This is a hands‑on engineering role with real architectural influence — you’ll design, build, and scale the pipelines, models, and tooling that power analytics, automation, and product decision‑making across the company. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and analytics teams to turn fragmented data into clean, reliable, production‑ready systems. Your work will directly shape how the organisation captures value from data. What you’ll own • Python data engineering — build robust, testable, scalable pipelines and services, • Data modelling — design and evolve models that support analytics, reporting, and operational workflows, • Business‑logic translation — convert complex requirements into clean, production‑grade Python, • End‑to‑end workflow ownership — ingestion, transformation, validation, monitoring, optimisation, • Platform reliability — improve observability, performance, and resilience across the stack, • Architecture input — contribute to decisions as the platform modernises and scales, • Engineering standards — drive quality, documentation, and CI/CD excellenceWhat we’re looking for, • Strong Python engineering applied to data workflows, • Solid SQL and experience building production‑grade pipelines, • Cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), • Orchestration tools such as Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster, • Ability to work with stakeholders and simplify complex requirements, • A mindset focused on quality, reliability, and simplicity, • Comfortable owning problems end‑to‑endNice to have, • dbt, Spark, or similar frameworks, • Analytics engineering exposure, • Interest in AI‑driven automation and modern data workflows

Cloud & Engineering Instructor / Consultant Software Engineering, Cloud & DevOps 📍London | Hybrid 💰£90k-£120k + Benefits We are partnered with a global Data & AI consulting firm that is completely re-imagining how they train, develop, and deploy their engineering talent. This is not a traditional training or academic role. It’s a hands-on, deeply technical position designed for engineers who want to stay close to real-world delivery while also shaping the next generation of cloud and software engineering talent. You’ll start by helping shape a new generation of engineers, people learning how to build properly across cloud, software engineering, and modern platform environments. But this isn’t about slides or theory. It’s about teaching what actually works in production, based on your own experience. Think cloud-native systems, real CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and AI-augmented engineering workflows, taught by someone who has actually built and deployed them. Then the role evolves. As those engineers move into client environments, you go with them, not as a trainer, but as a consultant. You remain hands-on, working directly with clients, owning delivery, and guiding both technical direction and the engineers you’ve helped develop. It’s a deliberate blend: build capability, then deploy it. Key responsibilities include: ✅ Delivering practical, hands-on training across cloud, software engineering & DevOps. ✅ Mentoring and developing graduate engineers / consultants. ✅ Supporting and leading engineers on client deployments. ✅ Acting as a hands-on technical consultant in live client environments. ✅ Embedding modern engineering practices including AI-augmented development and AIOps. ✅ Influencing how engineers are trained and how they perform in production. You’ll be working across modern engineering stacks including cloud platforms, containerised systems, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and increasingly AI-enabled development workflows. This role is best suited to engineers who have already built and delivered real systems in production environments and are starting to enjoy the mentoring and leadership side of engineering, without wanting to step away from technical depth or client delivery. If you want a role where you shape capability and see it deployed in the real world, this is a rare opportunity to do both without compromise.
