Job Description
Softwire is one of the UK’s leading digital technology consultancies, offering services in data, AI, cloud, CX, innovation, design and software engineering. We deliver high-profile, mission critical, and transformational projects for household names across the public and private sectors. Softwire was founded on one simple idea: be the outstanding place to work for smart, passionate technologists who want to make an impact. Attract the best, create a culture where people thrive, and offer our customers access to capabilities that are truly market leading. And it seems to be working – We were recently voted number 1 company to work for in the UK at the Best Company awards; we employ outstanding people across all capabilities (typical destinations after Softwire include Google, DeepMind, start-up founder, algorithmic trading, and AI research roles); and we have helped our clients deliver some of the hardest, most interesting tech programmes, across private and public sectors. A big part of this is our culture and values and we are looking for people who share our core beliefs about what makes a great place to work: That if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly; That work should be fulfilling but can also be fun; That kindness matters and should be extended to employees and clients alike; That by being trusting and trustworthy as an organisation and as individuals we can dispense with tedious bureaucracy and rules. In brief: We’re looking for exceptional Senior Data Engineers with deep expertise in data architecture and engineering, a strong track record of technical leadership, and the ability to collaborate closely with client stakeholders and translate business requirements into tangible outcomes. You’ll join a high-calibre team and be expected to operate with autonomy, shape technical direction, and provide meaningful mentorship to more junior engineers. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering excellence and client influence. As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll take a leading role across complex, multi-stakeholder engagements, working alongside Technical Leads, Architects, and client teams. You will own the technical quality of data solutions end-to-end, across a range of sectors and technologies.
