Overview

As a Data Engineering Graduate, you will play a key role in building the scalable data foundation that powers Visa's analytical, data science, and product development work across Europe. Data Engineering focuses on developing data pipelines, transforming large datasets, automating processes, and enabling teams to operate efficiently and at scale. You\'ll work closely with Data Engineers and Data Scientists to build repeatable, reusable, and automated data assets that support client projects across Europe. Much of the work is backend-focused, requiring strong coding foundations and an engineering-first mindset. While the role is not typically client-facing, strong communication is required to work effectively in a global team environment.


Responsibilities

  • Develop a deep understanding of Visa\'s data ecosystem and how data is used across Data Science, Product, and Analytics teams.
  • Build, test, and maintain ETL/ELT data pipelines using Python, SQL, Spark, and other big-data tools.
  • Support the design and delivery of scalable, reusable data assets to be used repeatedly across client engagements.
  • Automate and standardize backend data workflows to improve the reliability and consistency of data used by downstream teams.
  • Work with large datasets, performing transformations and ensuring data quality, integrity, and accuracy.
  • Collaborate with global Data Engineering teams (North America & other regions) on productionizing and maintaining key data assets.
  • Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and follow engineering best practices including Git-based version control and CI/CD.
  • Troubleshoot data pipeline issues and assist with performance optimization.

Qualifications

  • Permanent right to work in the UK. Please specify this on your CV.
  • Graduating in 2025 or summer 2026 with a Bachelor\'s or Master\'s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, or another technical field - ready to start the role in September 2026.
  • Strong programming foundations in Python and SQL.
  • Interest in backend engineering, data systems, and scalable data processing.
  • Familiarity with at least one big-data or distributed computing framework (e.g., Spark, Hadoop, Hive).
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to communicate clearly in English, both written and verbal.
  • Experience or exposure to:
    Data pipeline development (ETL/ELT); Git or other version control systems; Workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Luigi, Prefect); Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure); Unix/Linux command line.
  • Interest in scaling data engineering processes and learning software engineering best practices.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with teammates across geographies.

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.
