Data Engineer | £60-65K | London (5 days p/w Onsite)

Build a greenfield data platform from scratch!

This logistics company is halfway through a massive digital transformation. Legacy monoliths are being dismantled, replaced with a clean, cloud-native, modular stack - and the new data team is central to making it all talk.

You'll be working directly with their Head of Data, building Azure-based pipelines from the ground up, and shaping how the company uses data across 50+ systems. There's real investment, real urgency, and real interest in doing this properly - not endless meetings and PowerPoints.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing, building, and optimising Azure-based data pipelines using Databricks, PySpark, ADF, and Delta Lake
  • Implementing a medallion architecture - from raw to curated
  • Collaborating with analysts to make data business-ready
  • Applying CI/CD and DevOps best practices (Git, Azure DevOps)
  • Supporting the team's growth with clean, well-documented code
  • Exploring real-time logistics datasets

What They're Looking For

  • A strong communicator - someone who can build relationships and help connect silos
  • Experience building pipelines in Azure using Databricks, ADF, and PySpark
  • Strong SQL and Python skills
  • Bonus points if you've worked with Power BI, Azure Purview, or streaming tools
  • You're versatile - happy to support analysts and wear multiple hats in a small, growing team
  • Genuinely interested in ML/AI (no need to be an expert)

The Catch (read This)

This is 5 days onsite in their London office. They're building the data team face-to-face, not over Zoom. Candidates must be London/Home Counties-based.

Why now?

  • Help build a greenfield platform with a modern Azure stack
  • Real business impact - logistics, supply chain, real-time data
  • A rare opportunity to shape something properly, from the ground up

Apply here to register your interest!

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Machine Learning Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's machine learning sector has evolved into one of Europe's most intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior ML engineers to principal machine learning scientists and heads of artificial intelligence research. With machine learning positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate ML engineers to £160,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this pioneering and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, machine learning hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by AI research cycles, model development timelines, and algorithmic innovation schedules. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Launch Your Career in Machine Learning: The UK's Intelligence Revolution

The United Kingdom stands at the epicentre of a machine learning revolution that's fundamentally transforming how we solve problems, deliver services, and unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale. From the AI-powered diagnostic systems revolutionising healthcare in Manchester to the algorithmic trading platforms driving London's financial markets, Britain's embrace of intelligent systems has created an extraordinary demand for skilled machine learning professionals that dramatically exceeds the current talent supply. If you've been seeking a career at the forefront of technological innovation or looking to position yourself in one of the most impactful sectors of the digital economy, machine learning represents an exceptional opportunity. The convergence of abundant data availability, computational power accessibility, advanced algorithmic development, and enterprise AI adoption has created perfect conditions for machine learning career success.
