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.
