Data Engineer Manager

To succeed as a Java Scala Developer in our team, I need you to have experience in Scala and Java programming. Proficiency in testing and mocking frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and PowerMocks is essential. You should also be familiar with development tools like IntelliJ IDEA, Maven, TeamCity, Jira, GIT, and JUnit. Basic SQL skills are required. Additionally, having skills in AWS, Spark, and Big Data would be highly valued.

In this role, I expect you to design, develop, and improve software using various engineering methodologies to deliver business, platform, and technology capabilities for our customers and colleagues. You will be responsible for the development and delivery of high-quality software solutions using industry-aligned programming languages, frameworks, and tools, ensuring that the code is scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance. You will collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define software requirements, devise solution strategies, and ensure seamless integration with business objectives. Participation in code reviews, promoting a culture of code quality, and knowledge sharing within the team is essential. Staying updated on industry technology trends and actively contributing to technology communities within the organization to foster technical excellence is also crucial. I expect you to adhere to secure coding practices, implement effective unit testing, and ensure that your work aligns with the rules, regulations, and codes of conduct established in our organization.

Description

This role will be based out of our new Glasgow Campus. Your work will have an impact on related teams, and you will partner with other functions and business areas to take responsibility for the outcomes of team operations and activities. I encourage you to escalate any breaches of policies or procedures and take ownership of embedding new policies adopted for risk mitigation. You'll be expected to advise and influence decision-making within your area of expertise while managing risks and strengthening controls in relation to your responsibilities. Maintaining an understanding of how your sub-function integrates with the overall function, as well as knowledge of our organization's products, services, and processes, is important. You will also need to demonstrate evaluative judgement, resolve problems through analysis, and communicate complex or sensitive information effectively. Networking with stakeholders both inside and outside the organization is part of your role as well. Finally, I expect all colleagues to demonstrate the values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence, and Stewardship, alongside embodying our organizational mindset of Empowerment, Challenge, and Drive.

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.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
