Data Engineer

Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering | £140k | Remote (UK) | Open Source + Geospatial + AI-adjacent 📣

We’re working with a forward-thinking data consultancy that’s looking for ahands-on Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering— someone who blends deep technical ability with creativity, and loves solving unusual data challenges with open-source tools.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of strategic data engineering projects — helping clients build modern, scalable data platforms while leading from the front with your own engineering expertise.

🔧 What you'll be working with:

Python-first data engineering, building custom pipelines, automation tools and ingestion workflows.
PostgreSQL + PostGIS: serious spatial querying, indexing and geospatial wrangling.
Cloud-native infrastructure: AWS / GCP / Azure (your pick) — but with a proper understanding of how it all works under the hood.
Modern ETL/ELTusing Airflow, Spark, Dagster, Prefect — you choose the right tool for the job.
CI/CD for data: Git, Docker, automated testing, efficient and scalable workflows.

🗺️ What sets this role apart:

Heavy emphasis ongeospatial data engineering— working with OSM, map tile rendering, Leaflet.js, Kepler.gl, and data visualisation.
Work on projects blendingprivate + public + non-traditional data sources— edge devices, IoT, NLP pipelines, and custom data processing challenges.
Preference for open-source tools (QGIS, SpaCy, MapTiler etc.) over proprietary systems.
A chance to shape the strategy, lead delivery, and stay close to the tech.

🧠 You might be a fit if you:

Have a deep understanding of systems, efficiency, and optimisation (e.g., edge computing, AI-on-device, or automation with Raspberry Pi).
Are a natural problem-solver who can connect data points others miss.
Enjoy tackling messy, unconventional datasets.
Have a track record ofpersonal projects, open-source contributions or building beyond the 9–5

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
