Senior Data Engineer | AI-First SaaS Scale Up
London | Hybrid (MonWed in office)
£up to £80,000 DOE
Ref: J13026

We're partnering with a fast-growing AI-first SaaS company building a modern data and AI platform used by global clients. As they scale, they're looking for a Senior Data Engineer who thinks in systems, not projects .

Someone who understands what it takes to run data and ML pipelines in production, at scale, day after day.
SQL is the Latin of data: Essential, universal, the foundation.
But Python is your superpower: The place where you design algorithms, engineer clean solutions, automate intelligently, and write code that doesn't just work today… it works next month, next quarter, and under load.

This role is for someone who builds with reliability, repeatability, and production readiness at the forefront, not someone who sees delivery as done when the notebook runs once.

The Opportunity
Build and optimise robust ETL/ELT pipelines across Azure, AWS, GCP, Snowflake or Databricks
Lead CI/CD automation, environment management and reliable deployments
Support production-grade ML pipelines that power real decisions
Create monitoring, alerting and data-quality controls for high-trust systems
Influence engineering culture with clean, scalable, maintainable code

All About You
3+ years in data engineering or cloud platform development
Strong SQL but exceptional Python, with a real software engineering mindset
An instinct for scaling systems, not just completing projects
Experience deploying and maintaining production ML models
Understanding of orchestration, workflow tools and modern data architectures
A proactive, improvement driven approach to platform engineering

The Why ?
Shape a next-generation AI and data platform
Work in a high-ownership, high impact engineering environment
Help create a culture where production quality and pythonic excellence matter

However you see your career developing, whether you want to move into leadership, drive architectural direction, or stay hands-on and push the limits of modern data and AI engineering, this company will support and champion you. They're committed to helping talented engineers grow in the direction that excites them most.

Still thinking about it… then this is not the role for you…. Excited ? Apply Now !!

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.
