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!

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
