Job description

DV Cleared Data Architects / Data Engineers Wanted | Any Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP) | UK (Hybrid)

£60,000 to £100,000 + bonus + benefits | Bristol / Manchester / London / Edinburgh / Cambridge / Belfast (hybrid)

Active DV Clearance Required

I’m working with a successful multinational tech consultancy that has secured a number of long-term client programmes and is now looking to bring in several DV Cleared Data Architects to meet that demand. Data Engineers or Data Architects will be considered.

If you’re DV cleared and have built your career on cloud data platforms, this is one where that depth gets used properly. You’ll be working across a range of secure, high-impact programmes with real ownership over how the data platforms are designed and delivered, not just implementing someone else’s blueprint.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing full data platforms end-to-end, making sure everything flows properly from ingestion through to consumption
• Working with modern approaches like lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
• Defining both batch and streaming pipelines depending on the use case
• Making real decisions around storage, orchestration, governance and security, not just executing a predefined design
• Working closely with clients and stakeholders to translate business problems into practical technical solutions
• Operating in secure, regulated environments where attention to detail and sound judgement matter

Tech environment

• Any of the major clouds, with native services such as S3, Glue, Redshift and Kinesis on AWS, Data Factory, Synapse and Event Hubs on Azure, or BigQuery, Dataflow and Pub/Sub on GCP
• Databricks and Snowflake running on top of any of the three
• Spark and distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data
• Streaming technologies such as Kafka or the native cloud equivalents

What they’re looking for

• Active DV Clearance, must already be held
• A strong background in Data Architecture or Data Engineering with hands-on experience on at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Solid understanding of modern data patterns, lakehouse, medallion, streaming
• Experience designing full platforms in the cloud, not just individual components
• Comfortable working with clients and stakeholders, not just internal teams
• A practical mindset, someone who makes sensible trade-offs rather than over-engineering

Salary: £60,000 to £100,000 + bonus + good benefits

Location: Bristol / Manchester / London / Edinburgh / Cambridge / Belfast (hybrid), 2 days a week in any of their offices
