About the job


Lead Data Engineer – London


(Path to Head of DE)


Location: London | Hybrid (4 days/week on-site)


Salary: £85,000 – £95,000 + benefits


Ref: J13147


Are you an experienced Data Engineering Lead ready to step into a high-impact leadership role with a direct track to Head of Data Engineering?


A high-growth AI SaaS scale-up is looking for a Lead Data Engineer to own, scale, and elevate their data function. You’ll lead a brilliant, agile team of engineers, take charge of technical delivery, and act as a strategic bridge between core product teams and enterprise clients.


While this is primarily a management and strategy role, you’ll bring the technical muscle needed to review SQL/Python code, architect modern data solutions, and guide engineering decisions.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and grow a talented team of Data Engineers.
  • Delivery & Governance: Own team roadmaps, engineering standards, and quality controls.
  • Client & Stakeholder Strategy: Partner directly with external enterprise customers to translate business requirements into scalable, client-facing data products.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work side-by-side with Product, AI, and Software Engineering leaders.
  • Technical Oversight: Conduct code and SQL reviews, ensuring best practices across the pipeline lifecycle.
  • Function Scaling: Play a pivotal role in expanding the team and building out the long-term data strategy.


What You’ll Bring

  • Leadership Track Record: Proven experience leading, managing, or mentoring Data Engineers.
  • Technical Depth: Deep SQL proficiency alongside solid exposure to Python and modern cloud data stacks.
  • Customer-Centric Mindset: Experience delivering external-facing data solutions and consulting with client stakeholders.
  • Commercial Acumen: A decisive, delivery-focused approach accustomed to SaaS, product-led, or fast-paced scale-up environments.


Why Apply?

This is a high-visibility leadership role in a booming AI sector with a clear trajectory toward Head of Department as you scale with the business.
