Job Description

I'm working with a world-class, product-led technology company in Edinburgh to help them find a DataEngineer to join their growing team (hybridworking, typically 1-2 days in the office). This is an opportunity to join a business operating at seriousscale, building data systems that power products used by millions of customers.

You'll be joining a high-performing data engineering team where data is central to how the organisation makes decisions. The team is responsible for building and maintaining both batch and streaming pipelines that support analytics, machine learning and key business reporting. It's a fullyhands-on role in a modern, cloud-first environment, working on scalable, production-grade data solutions.

As a Data Engineer, you'll design, develop and maintain reliable data pipelines and infrastructure, with a strong focus on data quality, performance and clean engineering standards. You'll collaborate closely with analysts, data scientists and fellow engineers to deliver high-quality, consumable datasets while contributing to best practices across the wider platform.

You'll be working heavily with Python, SQL and Spark, using tools such as Databricks, Airflow, dbt and Kafka within AWS. Experience with modern data stacks is important, along with a solid understanding of data warehousing concepts, ETL/ELT processing, dimensional modelling and both batch and real-time ingestion patterns.

Given the scale they operate at, reliability and performance are critical. Experience building robust pipelines, working with orchestration and monitoring tools, and contributing to well-tested, scalable data solutions will be highly valuable.

The organisation has grown significantly over the past few years and continues to scale, meaning there is genuine scope for progression as the data function continues to expand. Their office is based in centralEdinburgh and offers a great environment for collaboration when onsite.

In return, they're offering a competitivesalary and an excellent overall benefits package which includes a bonus and unlimitedholidays. Hybrid working is standard (ideally 1-2 days in the office).

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

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.
