Reliable data is at the heart of good decision-making. We’re looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our newly established data team and work with them to deliver reliable, high-quality data that supports informed decision-making and enables us to deliver better outcomes for our customers.

In this role, you’ll design and maintain scalable data pipelines and robust data models, helping to ensure our data is accurate, accessible, and secure. You’ll also improve troubleshooting by introducing error handling and logging and optimise efficiency by monitoring data performance and applying fine tuning techniques. Writing complex queries (SQL, Python and Spark), documenting data structures and working with colleagues to respond to business needs while ensuring alignment with governance standards and GDPR are also key in this role.

 We’re looking for someone with…

  • Proven experience in data engineering or data platform development.
  • Experience with testing frameworks and writing test plans for data pipelines.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with query optimisation.
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Dataflows, ADF).
  • An understanding of data modelling concepts (e.g. dimensional, star schema, denormalisation)
  • Knowledge of performance tuning techniques for ETL and SQL processes
  • Familiarity with data governance principles and GDPR

    Due to the type of data you’ll have access to in this role, you’ll be required to undertake a basic criminal record (DBS) check.

    We’re a social business, based in Cheshunt and across southeast Hertfordshire, helping local people by renting or selling affordable homes. We offer services designed to help our customers live comfortably in their homes, and we work to keep our buildings and estates maintained, offering support when money becomes an issue or when people get older. Our mission is to make a sustainable, positive change to the housing crisis for our customers and communities.

    We enjoy a benefits package that offers something for everyone, including…

  • 27 days’ holiday plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time colleagues).
  • Buy and sell holiday scheme.
  • Cross-organisational bonus scheme.
  • Up to 12% pension contribution.
  • Life assurance (three times salary).
  • Funded health cash plan or subsidised private medical insurance.
  • Range of special and family leave.
  • Car loans, cycle to work and electric car lease scheme.
  • Discount vouchers and more.

    The closing date for this vacancy is 2nd February 2026.

    We are a Disability Confident employer, which means that we offer an interview to a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants who meet the minimum selection criteria for the job.

    Other organisations may call this role ETL Engineer, Data Pipeline Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, or BI Developer.

    We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where equity, diversity and inclusion are part of our culture, as we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce. Our 3-year EDI strategy outlines how we’ll achieve this. We strongly welcome applications from underrepresented groups and groups which are identified as a priority within our strategy, including LGBTQIA+, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, applicants with disabilities and people under 30.

    We understand that some candidates, particularly from certain groups, may hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. While we’re looking for people with the right skills and experience, we also value diverse backgrounds and transferable skills. If you meet most of the criteria and believe you’d thrive in the role, we encourage you to apply.

    All our vacancies are open to flexible working arrangements, something we are really proud of. The extent to which flexible working is possible will vary between jobs according to the needs of the business and our customers.

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.
