Junior Data Engineer

Junior Data Engineer

Remote (UK) | Occasional trips to Manchester | £40k

This is a proper junior Data Engineering role for someone who wants to learn how modern data platforms are actually built — not a reporting role dressed up with a better title.

You’ll be joining a senior data team in a B2B environment, working with real production data, proper pipelines, and experienced engineers who will teach you how to do things the right way.

What you’ll be working on

* Supporting and developing data pipelines using Azure (ADF, Databricks, SQL)

* Working alongside senior engineers on ELT patterns and data modelling

* Helping maintain Azure SQL datasets used across the business

* Supporting analytics teams by delivering clean, well-structured data (not just dashboards)

* Learning how data platforms are monitored, documented and improved over time

This role is about building foundations — technically and professionally.

What we’re looking for

* Solid SQL fundamentals

* Some Python (data manipulation, scripts)

* Exposure to Azure data tooling

* Curious, switched-on, and wants to get properly good at data engineering

Why this is a good role

* Mentorship from very senior data engineers

* Real responsibility, not shadowing forever

* Clear path into a mid-level Data Engineer role

* Modern Azure stack, owned in-house

If you’re a junior who wants to grow into a strong Data Engineer, this one’s worth a look
