Data Engineer – AWS | Hybrid | Meaningful Projects Across Multiple Sectors

Job description

Location: Bristol, Manchester and Belfast 

If you’re someone who loves solving complex problems, enjoys experimenting with new technologies, and wants to work somewhere that genuinely values curiosity and ingenuity, this role might be a great fit for you.

We’re building ambitious digital and data solutions across a huge variety of sectors—from public services and security to health, energy, and financial services—and we’re looking for a Data Engineer who wants to make real impact through their work.

Please note: You must hold current and active DV (Developed Vetting) security clearance to be considered for this role.

What you’ll be doing You’ll join a collaborative Digital & Data community, working closely with designers, product teams, engineers, and domain experts to bring ideas to life. No two projects are the same, and you’ll get exposure to different industries, architectures, and tech stacks.
You’ll:
  • Design and build end-to-end data pipelines on AWS
  • Work with tools like EMR, Glue, Redshift, Kinesis, Lambda, DynamoDB (or equivalent open-source technologies)
  • Process large volumes of structured and unstructured data from multiple sources
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams using agile practices
  • Whiteboard solutions, prototype ideas, and solve real-world problems—both client-facing and internal
  • Balance hybrid working with the expectation of at least 2 days per week onsite (either office or client site)
What we’re looking for You don’t need to tick every box, but experience in some of the following will help you succeed:
  • Strong problem-solving mindset
  • Experience building production data pipelines (Java, Python, Scala, Spark, SQL)
  • Hands-on AWS experience for data ingestion, curation, and movement
  • Ability to write scripts, work with APIs, and query complex datasets
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environments
And again, DV clearance is essential due to the nature of the projects you’ll support.

Why you’ll love it here
  • Hybrid working with flexibility
  • A supportive, collaborative tech community
  • Budget for training and certifications
  • Opportunities to shape your own career path—technical or otherwise
  • Work that genuinely makes a difference for businesses, industries, and society
  • Health and lifestyle benefits, pension, bonus scheme, and more
  • A workplace where diverse perspectives and human individuality are valued
