Ready for a challenge?

The Experimentation Platform team is dedicated to supporting the business by operating JET's internal feature management and experimentation platform, JetFM. This involves processing vast amounts of experiment data, and thoroughly analysing and interpreting the results. Your primary goal in this Senior Python Data Engineer role is to help scale the use and scope of this state-of-the-art experimentation platform, expanding experimentation throughout the organisation. Automation and making experimentation fully self-served are key objectives, addressing the current complexity and learning curve for users driving greater volume of experiments & associated data processing. You will collaborate closely with other engineers, data scientists, and analysts as part of a broader engineering community.

The day-to-day work includes developing complex data pipelines in Python operating on massive amounts of data in Big Query. The role requires a versatile engineering skillset beyond traditional data engineering: evolving backend APIs, productionising statistical methodologies at scale, integration with other platforms or building data tools as required.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain reliable and scalable data engineering solutions within Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Work collaboratively, prioritising teamwork and stakeholder value to achieve collective goals.
  • Advocate for building future-proof solutions for long-term impact.
  • Spread engineering skills and best practices within the team and wider engineering community.
  • Work cross-functionally with other Platform Engineering teams to resolve issues and standardise practices.
  • Continuously improve & maintain robust infrastructure, CI/CD processes, and monitoring solutions for the experimentation platform.
  • Integrate the experimentation platform with new data sources and develop data flows for processing and transforming data.
  • Develop the experimentation platform with efficient reporting solutions and cloud APIs to deliver experiment results to stakeholders.
  • Engineer a metrics library solution in the data warehouse to enable stakeholders to self-serve experimentation metrics.
  • Collaborate with data scientists to implement new methodological improvements to the statistical experimentation engine in a scalable and future-proof manner.
What will you bring to the team?
  • Dedication to Data Engineering such as Google Vertex AI pipelines, Airflow/DBT.
  • Proficiency in Python for engineering applications.
  • Experience with setting up, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
  • Strong application of engineering best practices across the product development lifecycle, including automated testing, CI/CD, and code reviews.
  • Comfortable working with various technologies across the software and data engineering stack, including Airflow, Vertex AI, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Google Cloudbuild, Prometheus, and Grafana.
  • Solid experience in cloud data storage, with particular expertise in Google BigQuery (GBQ), GCS/S3.
  • Demonstrable ability to produce high-quality engineering solutions free of technical debt, with a passion for maintaining high standards.
  • An excellent team player, capable of working collaboratively, communicating clearly, and providing/receiving feedback.
  • Ability to confidently write elegant, consistent, and maintainable source code with minimal supervision.
  • A working understanding of experimentation methodologies, such as the statistical evaluation of A/B tests.
  • A caring attitude towards the personal and professional development of the wider team, nurturing a collaborative and dynamic culture.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
