Are you passionate about designing impactful data-driven solutions and creating cutting-edge digital experiences?

We’re seeking a Principal Data and Digital Engineer to lead the delivery of transformative solutions for our clients. You will lead the delivery of tailored solutions to our clients where you will be responsible for the design, delivery and implementation solutions, spanning from end user interfaces and innovative user experience to data driven solutions.

Sitting in the consulting division, you will be one of the drivers of our new capability framework and will lead the implementation of data and digital solutions of varying size and complexity, across several technical domains, including Analytics and Visualisation, Data Engineering and pipelining, UI and UX, Digital Twins, Simulation and/or Asset and Data Management.

In addition to the relevant technical experience in the different domains identified, you will have a depth of experience in different software engineering languages and commercial off the shelf tools across cloud and on-prem settings where you will be expected to build impactful Technical Solutions, Concept Demonstrators and Minimum Value Propositions.

Job Responsibilities

  • Build, optimise, and maintain scalable data pipelines that handle high-volume, high-velocity data in complex SaaS environments.
  • Design efficient, scalable, and flexible data models in multiple technologies to meet business requirements.
  • Analyse and consolidate business requirements and use cases to meet technical and non-technical debt.
  • Design tailored and bespoke solutions to address and mitigate challenges faced by our clients.
  • Make key decisions on build vs buy for data and digital engineering solutions and platforms.
  • Work closely with the entire business far beyond just product or technology, including driving innovation through concept demonstrators and offerings and support the sales activities, from a pre-sales perspective.
  • Carry out horizon scanning to identify emerging technology and industry trends and assess their potential impact and opportunity to become our offerings to the market.
  • Ensure solution, hosting and service architectures are subject to robust cost and effort estimation, covering design, development, transition, operation, maintenance and exit costs.

Skills Required

Data Engineering

  • Fluency in one or more of the following languages: SQL, Scala, Python, R, PySpark, Elasticsearch.
  • Data Pipeline Development: Hands-on experience in building data pipelines in AWS, Azure and/or open-source frameworks like Spark, Beam, or Airflow.
  • Experience with real time data streaming frameworks, (e.g. Kafka, Pubsub etc.).
  • Data quality/validation experience: designing metrics and KPIs to verify and automated management of data quality – experience in Purview would be very welcome.
  • Build and optimise data models, ensuring data is structured, accessible, and performant for downstream analytics and machine learning models
  • Good working experience of AWS (e.g. S3, Kinesis, Glue, Redshift, Lambda and EMR) or Azure data services (e.g. ADF, Synapse, Fabric, Azure Functions)
  • Knowledge and experience of Palantir Foundry or Gotham is a major plus.
  • Working experience in Data Lakehouse environments such as Databricks, Snowflake and/or Microsoft Fabric is a major plus.

Digital and Software Engineering

  • Experience in developing software solutions in an agile fashion employing best practices (e.g. automated testing, version control, CI/CD, containerisation, etc.).
  • Experience in designing wireframes in Figma and development of web front ends in React and/or Angular.
  • Familiarity with user testing and research methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and front-end frameworks.
  • Experience in Agile methodologies (Scrum / Kanban).
  • Experience in developing Infrastructure as a Code (e.g. Terraform) is an advantage.

Core

  • Working knowledge of 1 cloud vendor (AWS, Azure) – ideally with relevant engineering certification.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and passion for creating business value through data.
  • Strong communication skills, in particular the ability to translate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Value collaboration and have experience working effectively with remote teams.
  • Willingness to mentor others and support them in achieving their goals.
  • Comfortable working in a lean, agile environment, with the ability to adapt to changing priorities and technical domains with an enthusiastic and proactive attitude.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
