New Data Engineer postings at the employers we follow are up 7% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.
Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.
An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.

• You understand connectivity, security, application behavior, and data dependencies.
• You build maintainable engineering solutions, not just one-time scripts.
• You use AI effectively because you can evaluate, test, and explain its output.
• You own solutions from design through deployment and ongoing support.

• Build solutions using least-privilege access, secure authentication, encryption, and appropriate secrets management.
• Integrate logging, auditability, vulnerability remediation, and enterprise security controls into engineering workflows.
Software Engineering & Automation
• Develop reusable automation, integrations, and operational tooling using appropriate programming and scripting languages.
• Apply software engineering practices, including modular design, source control, code reviews, testing, error handling, and documentation.
• Use Infrastructure as Code and configuration management to deliver repeatable, controlled changes.
• Integrate infrastructure workflows with APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise platforms.
• Reduce manual effort and operational complexity through standardization and automation.
Database & Application Integration
• Understand relational database concepts, SQL, authentication, permissions, transactions, and application connection patterns.
• Support database infrastructure with consideration for storage, connectivity, backup and recovery, availability, and performance.
• Collaborate with database specialists and application teams to troubleshoot issues across infrastructure and database boundaries.
• Build automation that interacts safely with databases and respects data protection and access requirements.
AI-Assisted Engineering
• Use approved AI tools to accelerate coding, automation, troubleshooting, analysis, testing, and documentation.
• Provide relevant context and clear instructions to obtain useful AI-generated results.
• Review and validate generated code, configurations, and recommendations before use.
• Recognize incorrect assumptions, insecure patterns, and incomplete solutions.
• Protect sensitive information and follow enterprise requirements for AI use.
• Explain how solutions work, what AI contributed, and how correctness was verified.
Operational Ownership & Collaboration
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for complex production issues.
• Improve monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and operational readiness.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, networking, security, database, and application engineering teams.
• Communicate technical decisions, dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs clearly.
• Take ownership of reliability, maintainability, and supportability after deployment.
Required Skills & Experience
• 6–9 years of relevant infrastructure, cloud, systems, platform, or software engineering experience.
• Strong networking fundamentals and hands-on experience diagnosing connectivity issues.
• Working knowledge of security principles, including identity, authentication, authorization, encryption, and least privilege.
• Hands-on AWS experience, including compute, storage, networking, IAM, and monitoring.
• Understanding of relational databases and how applications connect to, authenticate with, and use them.
• Strong programming or scripting ability in one or more languages, such as Python, PowerShell, Go, or TypeScript.
• Experience with Git, code reviews, testing, APIs, and CI/CD practices.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and configuration management tools, such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering tools, with the ability to independently validate results.
• Experience supporting Windows and/or Linux environments.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
• SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or other enterprise relational database experience.
• Windows Server, Active Directory, Kerberos, and enterprise authentication experience.
• Familiarity with high availability, disaster recovery, and database migrations.
• Experience with observability, backup, and security monitoring tools.
• Experience building AI-enabled workflows or API-based integrations.
• Familiarity with containers and event-driven architectures.
• AWS certifications or equivalent demonstrated hands-on expertise.
