Principal Data Engineer/Architect, Bristol/ London / Watford
I'm currently exploring the market for a Principal Data Engineer / Architect to support a strong, collaborative engineering function. Bristol-based candidates are preferred, but we're also open to talent from the London / Watford area. This is an opportunity to help shape data capability at a strategic level, working across multiple engineering squads.
Successful candidate will have:
- Deep experience in data engineering and architecture, with strong fundamentals and a principled, agnostic approach to data
- Ability to balance hands-on technical work with strategic oversight
- Collaborative and coaching mindset, able to develop engineers and influence capability across squads
- Comfortable working in agile environments and managing uncertainty
- Pragmatic, business-value focused approach
Tech Stack (essential):
- Databricks
- Python
- Spark
We're open to candidates from either an engineering-heavy or architecture-heavy background, provided they bring strategic influence and technical credibility.
- Bristol preferred, but London / Watford candidates considered
- Largely remote, with occasional travel to Bristol and London
- Permanent, long-term hire
If this sounds interesting or you'd like to explore the opportunity further, feel free to drop me a message via Linked In or email, and we can have an informal chat.
