Job Description

👋 We’re Hiring a Lead Engineer

📍 Location: Remote - UK

💸 Salary: 25,000 GBP - 35,000 GBP

At Alliants, we’re on a mission to transform every customer engagement into something exceptional. We believe in working smart together to push the boundaries of company culture and create future‑proof customer experiences.

Are you passionate about creating meaningful customer experiences and helping organisations deliver on their brand promises? We’re looking for a recent graduate or early‑career professional passionate about data, cloud technology, and problem‑solving. This is your chance to launch your career in a supportive and expert team.

As our new Data Engineer, you won’t be expected to know everything on day one. Instead, you’ll learn from a team of senior engineers, scientists, and analysts, contributing to real client projects while building your skills. You will support the team in building and maintaining cloud data solutions for our clients, gaining hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge technologies across Azure, AWS, and GCP. This is a role for someone who is curious, eager to learn, and ready to become a data expert.

Join us as a Data Engineer in our growing Data Divison team! 🚀

• Academic or personal project exposure to a major cloud platform, preferably Azure.
• Familiarity with building data pipelines using tools such as Azure Data Factory, Python, Spark, or similar technologies.
• An understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates, Bicep).
• An understanding of CI/CD concepts and version control tools (e.g., Git).
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one scripting/programming language (e.g., Python, PowerShell).
• A good understanding of security best practices in a cloud environment.
• Ability to work with stakeholders to understand and translate business requirements into technical solutions.

• Knowledge of database technologies (SQL and NoSQL) and data warehousing concepts.
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies.
• Familiarity with data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment and across departments.
• Self‑motivated and proactive in identifying and addressing data‑related issues.
• Detail‑oriented with a strong focus on data quality and integrity.
• Eager to learn and adapt to new technologies and business requirements.
• A relevant cloud certification (e.g., Azure Data Engineer Associate, AWS Certified Data Analytics), or a strong desire to achieve one (we can help!).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.

Job Responsibilities

• Support Data Pipeline Development: Assist the team in building and maintaining data pipelines that move and transform data from various sources. You’ll learn the ins and outs of ETL/ELT processes.
• Learn Cloud Infrastructure: Contribute to building secure and scalable cloud data solutions on platforms like Azure and AWS. You’ll help select the right tools for the job and see how they work in the real world.
• Get Hands‑On with Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Learn to use and maintain scripts (using tools like Terraform or Bicep) that automate the creation of our cloud infrastructure.
• Assist with Data Modelling & Warehousing: Help develop data models and implement data warehousing solutions (like Azure Synapse or Snowflake) that power our clients’ analytics.
• Contribute to CI/CD Pipelines: Support the team in maintaining our automated systems (using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions) for testing and deploying code efficiently.
• Help Monitor Performance: Learn how to implement monitoring and logging to keep our data pipelines healthy and running smoothly, and assist in making them faster and more efficient.
