Azure Data Engineer | £400 - £500 Outside IR35 | Bristol | Hybrid | 6‑Month Initial Term |

A large‑scale data transformation programme is underway, and our client is looking for an experienced Azure Data Engineer to support the rebuild of their cloud data platform. This role is hands‑on and delivery‑focused — you’ll be designing and developing Azure‑native data pipelines, working extensively with Databricks, and shaping scalable data models across the Microsoft ecosystem. The role would require you to be on site in Bristol 4 days per week, please only apply for this position if you are local enough to do this without relocating.

Build, enhance and maintain data pipelines using Azure Databricks, Data Factory, and Delta Lake

Develop and optimise Lakehouse components and cloud‑based data flows

Create robust data models to support analytics, MI and downstream reporting

Assist in migrating legacy warehouse assets into a modern Azure environment

Contribute to cloud architecture decisions, data standards and best‑practice engineering patterns

Develop reliable Python and PySpark code to support data ingestion, transformation, and end‑to‑end processing.

What you’ll bring

Strong hands‑on experience across Azure Data Services (ADF, ADLS, Synapse, Databricks)

Excellent SQL skills, with experience in performance tuning and optimisation

Solid understanding of data modelling (star schema, medallion, ETL frameworks)

Ability to work with complex, inconsistent or legacy data sources

Experience building scalable, production‑ready pipelines in a cloud environment

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.
