ABOUT TECHMODAL
At Techmodal, we help Defence, Government and the public sector see beyond complexity — using data, technology and human insight to make better decisions, faster.
We’re a creative and collaborative team of consultants, analysts and developers, working on some of the UK’s most critical challenges — from the back office to the front line.
Part of BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, we bring the stability and reach of a global organisation with the spirit and agility of a specialist consultancy. You’ll experience the best of both worlds: the scale, benefits and development opportunities of BAE Systems, and the close-knit, collaborative culture of Techmodal.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a analyst / senior analyst level data engineer to join our Data Solutions community, helping Defence and Government unlock value from complex data environments.
You’ll work at the intersection of cloud platforms, data pipelines and analytics — designing, building and maintaining data solutions that directly support operational and strategic decision-making. Sometimes you’ll be embedded in client teams; other times you’ll be working alongside Techmodal engineers, analysts and data scientists to deliver secure, scalable platforms.
You don’t need to be an expert in everything. What matters most is your curiosity, willingness to learn, and passion for using data to solve real-world problems.
About the team
You’ll join a multidisciplinary team of data engineers, analysts, architects and consultants who design and deliver data platforms across highly secure Defence and Government environments. The team works across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI and Palantir Foundry, combining strong engineering fundamentals with real operational context.
What you’ll be doing
- Develop and maintain data pipelines for ingesting, transforming and modelling structured and unstructured data.
- Work across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP) and Palantir Foundry environments to deliver robust, secure solutions.
- Support data modelling and warehousing activities using best practice in schema design and data governance.
- Contribute to ETL/ELT development, testing and automation using Python, SQL, Airflow and Azure Data Factory.
- Collaborate with analysts, scientists and architects to ensure solutions meet real business needs.
- Participate in Agile delivery teams, including sprint planning, code reviews and show-and-tells.
- Apply DevOps and CI/CD principles to improve deployment and reliability.
- Document work clearly and share knowledge across the team.
What you’ll bring
Essential
- Demonstrable interest or experience in data engineering, analytics or a related technical discipline.
- Understanding of data fundamentals, including pipelines, modelling and data quality principles.
- Experience working with structured and unstructured data.
SQL experience and familiarity using Python for transformation and automation. - Hands-on experience (or strong interest) in AWS, Azure or GCP.
Interest in working with Palantir Foundry or similar enterprise data platforms. - Strong communication skills and confidence working in Agile, multidisciplinary teams.
- Eligible for UK Security Clearance (5+ years UK residency).
Desirable exposure
- Data lakes, warehouses and streaming architectures (Databricks, Spark, Kafka).
- ETL tools, orchestration frameworks and automation pipelines.
- Version control and CI/CD (GitHub, Azure DevOps).
- Data governance, lineage and cataloguing tools.
- Awareness of infrastructure as code, containerisation or data observability.
You don’t need to meet every requirement. If you’re passionate about data engineering and eager to apply your skills in secure, real-world environments, we’d love to hear from you.
What you'll find here
We’re building a people-first culture, shaped around progress and purpose.
- Meaningful work – you’ll help improve systems and services that matter to real people.
- A voice at the table – you’ll be trusted, supported and heard from day one.
- Time to grow – we invest in your personal and professional development through training, mentoring and industry qualifications.
- Real flexibility – hybrid working, trust and autonomy that respect real life.
- No egos, no drama – just smart people solving real challenges, together.
