I am supporting a major technology led organisation that is investing heavily in modernising its data platform and building next generation analytics capabilities. They are scaling their data function and are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join the team as they kick off a large migration and modernisation programme.

The role sits within a high impact area of the business working on sustainability, risk, fraud and broader operational analytics. You will work closely with stakeholders and a collaborative engineering team to deliver scalable, reliable data solutions that underpin key business decisions.


What you will be doing:

• Designing and developing cloud based data pipelines and warehouse solutions

• Supporting a major data migration and helping shape a future lakehouse architecture

• Building and optimising ETL and ELT workflows using modern tooling

• Working with real time data pipelines and streaming technologies including Kafka

• Working with cross functional teams to translate requirements into technical designs

• Improving engineering processes through automation, testing, CI and CD

• Contributing to early stage initiatives and POCs and presenting findings to technical leadership

• Maintaining and supporting data products with a focus on long term reliability


What they are looking for:

• Strong experience in data engineering and cloud based data platforms

• Experience with AWS services such as S3, Redshift and Lambda is ideal, but open to cloud agnostic and Azure backgrounds with lakehouse expertise

• Hands on experience with Airflow, dbt and Kafka

• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, automation and CI and CD

• Experience working on data migrations or modernising legacy systems

• Ability to explain clearly what you have built and the impact it delivered

• Strong communication and stakeholder skills

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
