Data Engineer


We're proud to be retained by a Premier League Football Club entering an exciting new chapter.

With a strong vision for sustained success both on and off the pitch, the club is investing heavily in data, technology, and innovation to gain a competitive edge. Backed by forward-thinking leadership, they are embedding a data-driven culture across football performance, recruitment, and operations.


This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of data and performance intelligence within one of the world’s leading football environments.


About the Role


We are seeking a Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that powers the club’s performance and analytical insights. This role will be central to ensuring that coaches, analysts, and recruitment staff have access to accurate, timely, and actionable data that informs decision-making across all areas of the football operation.


The ideal candidate will bring strong cloud engineering experience, with proven ability in Python, API integration, and data pipeline design. They will be passionate about creating scalable, reliable data systems that transform raw information into meaningful insight; ultimately driving better outcomes on the pitch and in player recruitment.


Key Responsibilities


  • Design, develop, and manage robust data pipelines and systems to support football performance, scouting, and operational analysis.
  • Integrate multiple data sources, including tracking, wearable, video, and match event data, into a centralised platform.
  • Collaborate closely with analysts, coaches, and recruitment staff to ensure data is accurate, reliable, and actionable.
  • Uphold high standards of data governance, quality, and security.
  • Provide technical expertise to optimise and innovate the club’s data-driven decision-making processes.


Key Skills & Experience


  • Proven experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python for data engineering and automation.
  • Strong experience with APIs, data ingestion, and web scraping.
  • Understanding of data modelling, warehousing, and pipeline orchestration.
  • Experience managing and integrating complex datasets (performance, tracking, wearable, or video data highly desirable).
  • Familiarity with visualisation and reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, or custom dashboards).
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, elite sporting environment.


Why Join?


  • Be part of a Premier League organisation that places data and innovation at the heart of its football strategy.
  • Work with cutting-edge technologies and some of the brightest minds in performance analysis.
  • Play a pivotal role in delivering insights that directly influence first-team and academy success.
  • Join a forward-thinking, ambitious club committed to continuous improvement and excellence on every front.

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.
