New data postings by company, last 7 days
The 10 companies posting the most data roles in the UK over the last 7 days.
UK data hiring this week is spread across 50 companies, with no single dominant employer
Jobfinder AI's index recorded 75 new data postings in the UK over the last 7 days, from 50 different companies. The busiest poster was capco with 5 roles. Arq, Hims And Hers, PlayStation Global and Referrals Only each posted 4. Monzoreferrals posted 3, and Engelhart, Fanatics Betting & Gaming, Hozah and Kpler posted 2 each.
The mix runs across consulting, consumer health, gaming, fintech, commodities trading, sports betting and data analytics. Company names are shown as they appear on the source career sites, which is why some listings carry names like Referrals Only or Monzoreferrals.
The example roles show the range of work behind the word data: Data Engineer and Senior Data Engineer, Senior BI Analytics Engineer at Carwow, Senior Analytics Engineer at Paddle, Data Analyst at Avepoint, and a Senior/Staff Evaluation Data Analyst role focused on agentic search at Nebius. Most named locations are in London, including East Croydon.
For a job seeker, the practical point is breadth. With openings scattered across many employers rather than concentrated in a few, a focused search across many company career sites is more likely to surface relevant roles than watching one or two big names.
68% of these UK data roles ask for senior level, and 26.7% are open to remote work
Seniority is the clearest pattern in this snapshot. 68% of the new UK data postings ask for senior level or above. Titles such as Data Engineer III, Senior Data Engineer, Senior Analytics Engineer and Senior/Staff Evaluation Data Analyst reflect that.
If you have several years of hands-on experience, put it up front. Lead your CV with the systems you built, the scale of data you handled and the business outcome, using the same title language the posting uses, such as analytics engineer or BI engineer.
If you are earlier in your career, the non-senior share still exists. Roles like Data Analyst at Avepoint and Data Engineer at Solveintelligence show that not every opening carries a senior tag. Apply quickly to those and read each description closely, since level labels vary between employers.
Remote is the minority here. 26.7% of postings are marked remote by the employer. Most of the roles name London, so candidates who can commute or work hybrid there have the widest choice. If you need fully remote work, filter for it from the start rather than hoping a London role will flex.
What this snapshot can and cannot tell you about the UK data job market
These figures describe job postings first seen in the last 7 days as of 6 November 2026. They count advertised openings, not hires. A posting can be filled internally, paused or left open for weeks, and one role can sometimes appear more than once.
The data covers employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks, drawn from a live index of 191,000 jobs. Companies that hire mainly through agencies or channels outside that coverage may be under-represented.
Market is taken from the location written on the posting, so a role listed as UK or London is counted here even if the employer is based elsewhere. Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, which means borderline titles such as software engineer roles focused on data may be included. A posting counts as remote only when the employer marks it remote, so some flexible roles may not be flagged.
Because this is a single week, it should not be read as a trend. A company with 2 postings this week is not necessarily a smaller data employer than one with 5. Treat the list as a current lead sheet for where to apply now.

Questions about this data.
Who is hiring data engineers in the UK right now?+
In the 7 days to 6 November 2026, capco posted the most UK data roles with 5, followed by Arq, Hims And Hers, PlayStation Global and Referrals Only with 4 each. Data Engineer roles in the example postings came from Fanatics Betting & Gaming, Solveintelligence and Hozah, all in London. In total, 50 companies posted 75 new data roles in the UK that week.
How do I find remote data jobs in the UK?+
In this snapshot, 26.7% of new UK data postings were marked remote by the employer, so remote roles are a minority and worth filtering for directly. Set your search to remote from the start, check each posting's location field, and read the description, since some employers offer flexibility without marking a role remote. Many of the listed roles are based in London, so hybrid options there are more common.
What do data jobs pay in the UK?+
This report does not include salary data, so it cannot give a figure for UK data pay this week. It covers 75 new postings, of which 68% asked for senior level or above, which tends to matter when comparing offers. To judge pay, check the salary range on each individual posting where the employer lists one, and compare roles at the same level and in the same location.
Are there junior or entry-level data jobs in the UK?+
Yes, but they are the smaller group in this snapshot. 68% of the 75 new UK data postings asked for senior level or above. Examples without a senior tag include Data Analyst at Avepoint and Data Engineer at Solveintelligence, both in London. Level labels vary by employer, so read the requirements rather than relying on the title alone.
What is the best AI tool to search for data engineer jobs in the UK?+
