Data Engineer Salary in Poland

Data Engineer in Poland: read the median against a +30% outlook

The Poland national median for a data engineer is 581 000 zł a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 359 000 zł in Kraków to 430 000 zł in Warsaw (1.2×).

Data engineers build the pipelines and warehouses that make data reliable and available. Common screening skills include SQL, Python, Spark, and Airflow.

A modeled national band runs about 371 800 zł–836 600 zł around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +30% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Polish city.

Warsaw sits -26% vs the national median; Kraków sits -38%. Relocating inside Poland for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Poland shows about 3.8% CPI in 2025. A data engineer raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
