RTÉ is Ireland's national public-service media organisation. We are embarking upon an ambitious and exciting 5-year transformation strategy to update the way we run the organisation. Our mission is to serve as an independent source of stories, news, information and entertainment for Ireland, reflecting the diversity of its people and providing experiences that enrich the lives of all.
This sense of purpose motivates us to deliver to the highest standards in an environment that is collaborative, supportive and engaging. Attracting and retaining the best talent is key in delivering to our audiences. We want our people to thrive in an environment that values their output.
RTÉ’s Technology division manages all technology for the organisation. As part of our recently approved data strategy, we are building a modern, cloud-based data platform to enable more informed, data-driven decision making across the organisation.
A key pillar of this strategy is the establishment of a high performing data engineering team. This team will deliver scalable, cloud-based data solutions that support analytics teams embedded across the business, as well as wider organisational reporting, governance and innovation initiatives.
Reporting to the Head of Data Engineering, we are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to play a key role in designing and building RTÉ’s next generation data platform. This is an opportunity to work with modern technologies, shape architectural decisions and have a real impact on how data is used across one of Ireland’s most recognised organisations.

Closing date for receipt of applications is Thursday 3rd September 2026.
Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of what we do – both on‑air and behind the scenes. We are committed to building a more inclusive environment and tackling under‑representation while embedding inclusion at every stage of the employee journey.
