Senior Data Engineer

Ready to help shape the future of aviation through data? British Airways is looking for a hands-on Senior Data Integration Engineer to join our fast-paced technical programme. This is a delivery-focused role-not a consultancy or leadership position-ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex data challenges and building robust, scalable integrations across cloud-native platforms.

• Analyse and understand system interfaces and data flows across our enterprise.
• Design and maintain clear, business-aligned data models.
• Build and support integrations using AWS services (Lambda, Step Functions, S3, MSK/Kinesis, API Gateway).
• Ensure data transformations are well documented, traceable, and consistent.
• Collaborate with product owners, architects, and business stakeholders to clarify requirements and deliver solutions.
• Troubleshoot integration issues end-to-end and drive continuous improvement.
• Champion standardisation of integration patterns and documentation.

• Proven experience in data engineering or integration engineering.
• Strong proficiency with AWS cloud-native services.
• Solid SQL skills and scripting experience (Python preferred).
• Expertise in data modelling and mapping complex transformations.
• Familiarity with ETL/ELT tools and streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
• Excellent communication skills - able to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• A proactive mindset, strong analytical skills, and comfort working with evolving requirements.

• A clear communicator who can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Curious and collaborative, always asking the right questions.
• Comfortable balancing hands-on technical delivery with design thinking.
• Not a consultant - but a doer, ready to roll up your sleeves and deliver.

Apply now and help us connect Britain with the world through the power of data.
