Senior Data Engineer

Salary: £75,000 - £85,000

Location: London | Hybrid

Data Idols are working with one of the UK's most recognised retail brands as they continue to invest heavily in their enterprise data platform. They are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team, helping build and evolve a modern cloud-based data ecosystem at significant scale.

This role sits at the heart of a major data transformation, offering the opportunity to work on scalable, production-grade data platforms that power business-critical decisions across the organisation.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Data Engineer, you'll take a hands-on role in designing, building and delivering robust, cloud-native data solutions. Working within an experienced engineering squad, you'll take ownership of technical challenges, contribute to engineering standards and help drive best practices across the team.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
