I'm looking for a Lead Data Engineer to take ownership of a Data Platform — a central enabler of insight, innovation, and growth. This is a unique opportunity to build and scale a modern data stack leveraging Snowflake and AWS, playing a hands-on leadership role in a fast-evolving, data-driven organisation.


You’ll combine deep technical skill with strategic thinking and people leadership. From architecting scalable pipelines to leading complex cross-functional initiatives, your work will empower analytics, unlock decision-making, and directly impact commercial outcomes.


What You’ll Do:

  • Design and develop robust data pipelines using Snowflake, AWS services, and modern orchestration tools
  • Lead the evolution of our data platform — frameworks, automation, tooling, and performance — with Snowflake at its core
  • Drive data integration from multiple sources (APIs, DBs, external feeds) into a unified Snowflake-powered analytics environment
  • Build production-ready data models and schemas optimised for performance, cost, and business accessibility
  • Collaborate closely with DevOps, QA, analysts, and business teams to deliver impactful data products
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring to a growing team of data engineers
  • Enforce best practices in version control, documentation, monitoring, and automated testing
  • Ensure data quality, security, and governance within a scalable, cloud-native infrastructure
  • Partner with stakeholders to ensure the data platform supports current and future reporting, forecasting, and AI use cases
  • Stay ahead of the curve in Snowflake, AWS, and modern data engineering tooling


About You:

  • Proven experience as a Data Engineer working with Snowflake in a production environment
  • Strong cloud expertise, especially within AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, Redshift, IAM, etc.)
  • Proficient in SQL, Python, and tools like dbt, Airflow, or similar
  • Experience optimising cost, performance, and scalability across large Snowflake environments
  • Excellent communicator with a proactive, ownership mindset
  • Passionate about coaching others, setting standards, and building elegant, scalable data solutions

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
