Senior Data Engineer - Databricks & Agentic AI
London (Hybrid)
Salary - £80k - £90k DOE plus bonus and benefits
Permanent
I'm working with a global business looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help evolve its established Databricks platform. This role will have a strong focus on agentic AI, automation and the future of data engineering.
This is a hands on role where you'll work on complex transformation projects, influence technical decisions and help introduce AI-driven workflows at enterprise scale.
What you'll be doing:
- Building agentic AI workflows to automate data engineering, code generation, testing and CI/CD.
- Developing scalable data pipelines, data models and ingestion frameworks.
- Working extensively with Databricks, Delta Lake, SQL, Python and PySpark.
- Improving data quality, platform performance and production reliability.
- Delivering solutions across master data management, client data and geospatial processing.
What they're looking for:
- Strong Databricks expertise, including Delta Lake, Declarative Pipelines, DABs and Spark optimisation.
- Advanced SQL and strong Python/PySpark skills.
- Experience building scalable data solutions and troubleshooting production issues.
- A proactive, analytical mindset and an interest in AI-driven engineering.
- Experience with coding agents, agentic AI, Unity Catalog or geospatial data would be advantageous.
Why is this a great opportunity?
- Work at the cutting edge of AI: Help shape how agentic AI is applied to real-world data engineering, developing skills that are still relatively rare in the market.
- Genuine technical ownership: Influence architecture, make meaningful engineering decisions and help shape the platform's future direction.
- Build, don't rebuild: Join a mature Databricks environment with established foundations, allowing you to focus on innovation rather than starting from scratch.
- Invest in your development: Work alongside a technically ambitious team with dedicated learning time and the freedom to explore emerging technologies.
- Make an impact at scale: Contribute to transformation initiatives across EMEA and APAC, tackling complex challenges across multiple business domains.
If you're a Senior Data Engineer with strong Databricks experience and want to be part of the next evolution of data engineering,
