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

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.
