  • Self‑motivated and proactive in identifying and addressing data‑related issues.
  • Detail‑oriented with a strong focus on data quality and integrity.
  • Eager to learn and adapt to new technologies and business requirements.
  • A relevant cloud certification (e.g., Azure Data Engineer Associate, AWS Certified Data Analytics), or a strong desire to achieve one (we can help!).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.

Job Responsibilities

  • Support Data Pipeline Development: Assist the team in building and maintaining data pipelines that move and transform data from various sources. You’ll learn the ins and outs of ETL/ELT processes.

  • Get Hands‑On with Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Learn to use and maintain scripts (using tools like Terraform or Bicep) that automate the creation of our cloud infrastructure.
  • Assist with Data Modelling & Warehousing: Help develop data models and implement data warehousing solutions (like Azure Synapse or Snowflake) that power our clients’ analytics.

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.
