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)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
