Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer (Quant & Alternative Data)

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (relocation support provided)

Compensation: £120,000–£300,000 total compensation (fully guaranteed, all-in)

The Role

We are building a centralised data engineering and research platform that supports quantitative research teams across multiple asset classes.

This is not an asset-class-specific role, and not a traditional downstream analytics, BI, or ML-only position.

The team focuses on large-scale alternative and unstructured data , working from first principles to define the data foundations, tooling, and experimentation standards used across the investment platform.

The work involves messy, evolving datasets, performance-sensitive pipelines, and open-ended technical problems. Much of the stack is built in-house and remains largely greenfield.
