The Role


We’re supporting a fast-growing retail brand that’s on an exciting journey to build a strong data foundation across the organisation. They’re still relatively early in their data maturity, which means there’s a huge opportunity for you to make a real and lasting impact.

This is a hands-on Data Engineering role where you’ll be improving data quality, building and maintaining pipelines, integrating multiple systems, and ensuring the wider business can confidently make data-driven decisions. You’ll work closely with the internal Data Analyst to support reporting, build scalable data models, and turn messy, multi-source data into clean, reliable structures the whole organisation can use.

If you enjoy solving problems, introducing best practice, and shaping “what good looks like” in a fast-moving environment, this is a role where you’ll have real ownership and visibility.


Skills and Experience


We’d love to speak to people with:

  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with large or complex datasets
  • Hands-on experience building or maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines
  • Exposure to cloud-based data platforms (BigQuery, Azure Blob, OneLake, or similar)
  • Experience working across multiple data sources (ecommerce, CRM, warehouse systems, logistics platforms, SaaS tools)
  • Understanding of data modelling, data quality checks, and best-practice governance
  • Experience supporting BI/reporting teams - Power BI knowledge is a bonus
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to break down business problems into technical solutions
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • Ecommerce knowledge is a nice-to-have, not essential

We’re not only looking for people who tick every single box. If you’re confident with SQL, data modelling and pipelines, and you love creating structure and clarity, we’d love to hear from you. One thing that is essential in this role is that you’ve worked within a cloud-based environment rather than just on-Premise.


Benefits


Depending on your experience, there is a salary on offer of up to £50k. The company offers a hybrid working setup of 2 days a week in the office in Wiltshire (in between Bath and Swindon). This is a great opportunity for real autonomy, where you will be defining and elevating data practices across the business, as well as a chance to introduce new ideas, tools, and practices. You’ll be working alongside a friendly, supportive team that really cares about collaboration.


Sound Good?


If you’re a Data Engineer, or a BI/Analytics professional ready to take the next step into a more engineering-focused role, and you want variety, ownership, and the chance to shape a growing ecommerce organisation’s data journey, I’d love to speak with you. Please get in touch with Stacey at Digital Tonic.

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.
