Data Engineer

Manchester (2x week in office)

£80,000 to £90,000

This is an opportunity to join a scaling SaaS business where data sits at the heart of the product. You will play a key role in shaping modern data infrastructure that directly supports machine learning systems, real time decision making, and measurable commercial outcomes. The role offers high ownership, greenfield projects, and the chance to influence how data is used across the organisation as it continues to grow.

The Company

They are a UK based technology scale up building a privacy first, cookieless platform that helps businesses protect and optimise their digital marketing spend. Using machine learning and large scale behavioural data, they analyse vast volumes of traffic in real time to identify low quality or invalid activity. With offices in London and Manchester, they operate at Series A stage with strong funding and a collaborative, engineering led culture.

The Role

You will sit within the Data and Platform function, working closely with Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams to design and run reliable, scalable data systems. Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and owning batch and streaming data ingestion pipelines on AWS
  • Building and maintaining ML ready datasets to support model training, inference, and experimentation
  • Improving data warehouse design and performance within AWS Redshift, including refactoring poorly structured data
  • Integrating new and underused data sources to unlock additional value
  • Supporting feature store development and data pipelines for A/B testing and analytics tools
  • Optimising data systems for cost, performance, reliability, and data freshness
  • Contributing to greenfield initiatives while scaling existing data infrastructure handling very high volumes of event data

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience building production grade data pipelines using Python and SQL
  • Hands on experience with AWS data services such as S3, Redshift, Glue, Athena, and streaming technologies like Kinesis
  • Experience working with large scale, high velocity event data and understanding the trade offs around cost, performance, and reliability
  • Ability to think beyond implementation and understand how data supports business and product outcomes
  • Comfortable collaborating across Data, Engineering, and Product in a fast moving environment
  • Exposure to ML or analytics use cases, including preparing data for modelling or experimentation, is highly beneficial

What They Offer

  • Clear scope for progression as the data platform and team continue to scale

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
