At Compare the Market, we’re a purpose-driven business powered by tech and AI. We’re building high-performing, results-driven teams with the skills, mindset, and ambition to deliver outcomes at pace. Every role here plays a part in driving our mission forward, and we create an environment where you can bring your authentic self, grow a truly characterful career, and see the direct impact of your work on the lives of our customers.

We’ve carved a meerkat-shaped niche and we’re looking for ambitious, curious thinkers who thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact environment. If you love accountability, embrace challenge, and want to make a real difference, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll be doing:

As a Data Engineering Apprentice, you’ll work as part of our Data Platform team, gaining hands-on experience while learning from experienced data engineers. With support and structured training, you will:

• Assist with building, maintaining and monitoring data pipelines that move and transform data reliably across the business.
• Support data platform operations, including helping with migrations and improvements to existing data systems.
• Contribute to the delivery of data products that are secure, scalable and designed with end users in mind.
• Collaborate closely with the wider Technology team, as well as the wider data community across Compare the Market.
• Learn and apply modern cloud technologies and data tooling, such as AWS, through real-world engineering work.

 What we’re looking for:

This is an apprenticeship role, so we’re focused on potential rather than extensive experience. We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A genuine interest in data, technology or engineering, with a desire to build a career in data engineering.
• Some exposure to programming, data concepts or cloud platforms, gained through study, self-learning or personal projects.
• A problem-solving mindset and enthusiasm for learning new tools and technologies.
• The ability to work collaboratively with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Strong communication skills, curiosity, and a proactive approach to learning and development.

Why Compare the Market?

We’re a business built for pace and performance. Here, you’ll be encouraged to think differently, act boldly, and deliver brilliantly in a culture that values results and rewards progress.

We believe diverse teams make better decisions, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive.

If you’re ready to stretch yourself, raise the bar, and grow with a team that’s serious about performance, innovation, and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a Level 5 Apprenticeship opportunity, starting in September 2026.
