We’re looking for a Data Analyst (SFIA Level 4) to join a high-profile government data transformation programme. The role will support an existing team, working across data modelling, analytics, and performance optimisation within the AWS Athena environment.

Provide insight and recommendations on data modelling standards, table structures, and query logic.
Support the wider MIDAS analytical and engineering team on data validation and reporting improvements.
Contribute to the delivery of a robust data warehousing and analytics environment in AWS.
Produce technical documentation and maintain clear audit trails of analysis work.Essential Skills & Experience

Proven experience as a Data Analyst or Data Modeller within large, data-driven organisations.
Strong proficiency in SQL (writing, debugging, and optimising scripts).
Experience with AWS Athena and related data warehousing / analytics tools (e.g. Redshift).
Understanding of data modelling principles — normalisation, star/snowflake schemas, and metadata management.
Knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL databases.
Ability to review and enhance existing data pipelines without rebuilding them.
Excellent communication and documentation skills, comfortable in a technical, fast-paced environment

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.
