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!
