Data Engineer – AI & Agentic Systems

London (Hybrid) - one day p/week in office

£70,000-80,000 + bonus

Are you passionate about data engineering, AI innovation, and building systems that power real-world intelligence?

We're an established political intelligence leader transforming into an AI-driven, technology-first organisation. Following a major modernisation program, we've unified multiple business units onto a single cloud-native platform, built advanced multi-agent AI systems, and are now scaling our roadmap to power the next generation of agentic applications.

We're looking for a skilled Data Engineer to join our growing Engineering team — someone who thrives on designing high-performance data systems and enabling AI applications to operate with speed, accuracy, and context.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and retrieval systems across AWS.
• Integrate structured and unstructured data sources to fuel AI-driven workflows.
• Collaborate with AI, Product, and Engineering teams to operationalise agentic workflows.
• Develop APIs and interfaces for semantic and vector-based data operations (e.g. Pinecone, PostgreSQL).
• Implement monitoring, logging, and compliance measures aligned with ISO 27001 / SOC2 standards.
• Continuously evaluate new tools and frameworks in the data and AI ecosystem.

What You Bring

• 4–7 years' experience in Data Engineering, ideally in cloud-native or AI-oriented environments.
• Strong Python skills for data pipeline and service development.
• Proficiency with AWS (Lambda, S3, Glue) and orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, etc.).
• Familiarity with relational and vector databases (PostgreSQL, Pinecone, MySQL).
• Understanding of API development and event-driven architectures.
• A mindset that's curious, collaborative, and driven by innovation and automation.

What's in It for You

• Opportunity to shape the data architecture powering cutting-edge AI systems.
• Work alongside experienced engineers, product leaders, and AI specialists in a collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment.
• Clear growth path toward Senior Data Engineer or AI Platform Engineer roles.

If you're excited by the idea of building the data backbone for next-generation agentic AI, we'd love to hear from you.
