Full job description

Software Engineering
Nottingham, United Kingdom
From £45,000, dependent on experience
Closing Date: 12.07.2026

Are you an AWS-savvy engineer with a passion for building scalable, secure data platforms? Looking for an opportunity where you can make a real impact from day one?

We’re looking for a Data Platform Engineer to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract, supporting the development and operation of a modern, governed data platform powering analytics, AI and data-driven decision making.

This is an immediate opportunity to shape and strengthen a growing data platform, work on cutting-edge data, analytics and AI initiatives, and be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering environment while gaining exposure to modern data architecture and governance frameworks.

If you’re an AWS-focused platform engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and building robust data platforms, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a key role in building and running our AWS-based data platform, working closely with engineers and data teams to deliver reliable, secure and scalable solutions.

Build and maintain platform components using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / AWS CDK)
Support CI/CD pipelines for data platforms and services
Help deliver lakehouse, ingestion and data serving capabilities
Apply security, compliance and governance controls across deployments
Monitor platform health, logging and alerting — and resolve issues quickly
Support cost optimisation (FinOps) and efficient resource usage
Collaborate with Platform, Data Engineering and AI teams to improve ways of working

What we’re looking for

We’re ideally looking for someone who can hit the ground running and grow into broader platform ownership.

2–5 years’ experience in cloud engineering, DevOps or platform engineering
Strong hands-on experience with AWS
Experience with Terraform and/or AWS CDK
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
Understanding of cloud security basics (IAM, secrets management, secure deployments)
Experience supporting production systems, monitoring and troubleshooting
Strong problem-solving mindset with an eye for detail

Desirable experience:

Exposure to Lakehouse concepts (e.g. S3, Iceberg)
Understanding of data architectures (e.g. medallion)
Experience in multi-account AWS environments
Awareness of governance and working in regulated/data-sensitive environments
