DATA
ENGINEERING
AND BIG DATA RECRUITMENT
Processing Big Data has become crucial to countless businesses. Those who decide to pursue a career within Big Data face complex development challenges, too tough for relational database systems. After all, there is no Data Science without Data Engineers.
Whilst businesses may have vast quantities of data at the ready, it holds no real value unless it can be stored, harnessed and utilised. It’s estimated that most UK companies have at least 100 terabytes of data stored which could be used for various purposes around the business, as well as newly accessible hard-to-process sources such as web data, image data, and social media data.
This is where those who work in Data Engineering become extremely valuable, as they develop Data Platforms that allow this kind of volume to be processed and used by Data Scientists and analysts across the business.
DATA ENGINEERING
WHAT SETS US APART?
Our specialist focus encompasses roles in core verticals: Big Data and Data Engineering, Data Architecture, Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing, and Data Management and Data Governance.
Whether you are a company looking to build a data platform for advanced analytics, or you are a candidate who can build systems and applications to process vast, complex data sources, Harnham are here to help. Browse our latest big data jobs and data engineering jobs and take the first step towards a rewarding career.

DATA ENGINEER
£60,000 – £75,000

This new position is with a global consultancy who have recently expanded into supporting niche but data-driven companies in growing their data capabilities. This is a great position if you are looking to not only expand your knowledge in data engineering but also in data science, BI, and Software Engineering, given the versatile nature of the role.
THE COMPANY
As mentioned, this consultancy operates on a global scale. Some of the clients you would therefore be working with are based overseas, not necessarily just in the UK. This group tends to focus on certain industries which include the energy sector, but they have since reached out to smaller, digital-first companies. All clients here are now hoping to improve their capabilities, and you will become a big part of this.
THE ROLE
The team looking to tackle the various projects is very Data Science heavy, and you would be working closely with the Software Engineering team also. You are therefore going to be the first Data Engineering hire. This gives you lots of autonomy in your decision-making, but it also gives an opportunity to upskill in areas including data quality and data governance. Overall, you will be helping on an end-to-end basis and engaging with clients when manufacturing their data capabilities.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
- Good experience with Python is needed
- Cloud exposure is needed
- It is a bonus if this is Azure
- Any experience with software engineering tools, such as Docker or Kubernetes, will be helpful
- Experience with a modern and broad tech stack
THE BENEFITS
- £60,000 – £70,000 base salary
- Opportunity to upskill cross-vertically
- Flexible remote working (this may vary due to client demand)
- Creative freedom
