Senior Data Engineer

SENIOR AWS DATA ENGINEER | UK BASED CANDIDATES

OUTSIDE IR35 CONTRACT ROLE | 12 MONTHS

I'm looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join a long-term data engineering programme for a major UK organisation.This is a 12-month initial B2B contract with the intention to roll long-term, working fully remotely from UK. They're looking to get someone onboard for the 14th September 2026.

📍 Location: Remote United Kingdom

📄 Contract: Outside IR35

⏳ Duration: 12 months initially – rolling / long-term

🚀 Start: 14th September 2026.

The core technology stack is:

☁️ AWS – strong hands-on Data Engineering experience with AWS

🔧 dbt – MUST HAVE – recent production experience is essential

🐍 Python

💾 SQL

🔄 ETL / ELT pipelines

📊 Data Modelling / Data Warehousing

The biggest focus for this search is dbt. I'm looking for engineers who are actively using dbt in production – building and maintaining models, transformations, testing and scalable dbt projects - rather than candidates who have simply had exposure to it.

Alongside this, you'll need a strong background building data solutions within AWS, with experience across relevant services such as S3, Glue, Lambda, Redshift, Athena, EMR or similar.

This is a genuinely hands-on Senior Data Engineer role. You'll be designing, building and optimising data pipelines, developing Python and SQL solutions, improving data quality and reliability, and taking ownership of engineering deliverables through to production.

Experience with Spark/PySpark, Airflow, Terraform, Snowflake, Redshift or Databricks would also be a bonus.

⚠️ Please note: You must currently be based in UK and have full right to work as a contractor in the UK

If you're a Senior Data Engineer in Poland with strong AWS + dbt + Python + SQL experience and you're open to a long-term contract, also feel free to apply as we may have an opening for this location also - tbc

Equally, if you know someone who fits the bill, feel free to send this their way! 👇
