Data Engineer

Ncounter is partnering with a highly specialised consultancy delivering advanced engineering and data-driven capabilities into secure Government and Defence programmes. We are looking for an SC Cleared Data Engineer to join a growing technical team focused on building scalable, production-grade solutions that underpin critical decision making.

This role is centred on hands-on engineering within secure environments, where you will design and develop systems that enable complex data to be ingested, processed, and utilised effectively. You will work across both software and data domains, contributing to robust platform development while collaborating closely with analysts, architects, and end users to solve real-world operational challenges.

You will take ownership of translating problem statements into well-structured technical solutions, working across ingestion, transformation, and delivery layers. The work involves integrating disparate data sources, developing reusable components, and ensuring data can be accessed and acted upon efficiently within tightly controlled environments.

Key experience:

• Active SC clearance and experience operating within secure or regulated environments

• Strong coding background with at least one of the following: Python, Java, C# or JavaScript, alongside general software engineering principles

• Experience building data pipelines, including ingestion, transformation, and orchestration of large datasets

• Familiarity with handling structured and unstructured data at scale, including data modelling and integration patterns

• Ability to break down complex problems and work collaboratively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Exposure to analytical workflows, data exploration, or consulting-style delivery within project environments

This opportunity is well suited to engineers who enjoy combining software development with data engineering, particularly those who want to work closely with users and see the direct impact of their work.

If you hold active SC clearance and are interested in technically challenging work within secure, high-impact programmes, please get in touch with Ncounter to discuss further

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.

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.
