Data Engineer
Term: Full-time, Permanent
Location: High Wycombe with hybrid remote working available
Salary: £50000 - £65000 pa depending on experience + excellent benefits
Focusrite are looking for an experienced data engineer to join our business intelligence team. You'll help us build and maintain a robust yet flexible data stack, delivering high quality information where it's needed (and keeping it secure where it's not!).
We make extensive use of SQL, dbt, Snowflake and Power BI, as well as various other tools. We work closely together using pair programming, peer review and DevOps practices. We relish the chance to learn new things, independently and from each other.
We are looking for someone who:

  • Is an SQL expert, able to quickly identify data issues with a pithy query.
  • Has opinions about permissions, schemas, APIs and models, and can share them collaboratively.
  • Knows how to structure, profile and monitor a data warehouse, and what to watch out for.
  • Is familiar with visualising data and delivery tools such as Power BI.
  • Has an interest in analysis and modelling as well as infrastructure.
    You don't mind doing the mundane stuff, because you set everything up to make the mundane stuff, well, mundane (and therefore easy and low risk). That leaves time build new data marts for our stakeholders, identify data pipelines to be improved and be a stickler for adhering to privacy regulations.
    Do you:
  • Have a knack for extracting requirements from big picture stakeholders?
  • Know who Inmon and Kimball are?
  • Have a background in economics, statistics or computing?
  • Enjoy helping people get the most from data?
  • Go on occasional nerdy tangents?
    If so, and if you've built a data stack that your colleagues trusted and depended on, we'd love to hear from you!

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
