Job Specifications

Senior Data Integration Engineer

Location: London, UK

Team: Data & Technology

Ready to help shape the future of aviation through data?

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Data Integration Engineer to join a 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.

What You'll Be Doing

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.

What You'll Bring

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.

Who You Are

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 connect Britain with the world through the power of data.
