Company Information

All the health information we need is within us. Just below the skin. SAVA is redefining the way people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology science has to offer, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real-time and affordable way.

Description

Join Sava’s Data Engineering team at a pivotal stage of growth, contributing to the development and scaling of both, internal and customer-facing data infrastructures. As a Data Engineer II, you will help implement reliable data pipelines, storage solutions, and reporting systems that power analytical and operational workflows across the company. This is a unique opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with a top-tier team in engineering, science, and product to shape the foundation of Sava’s data architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable, reliable data pipelines, ensuring efficient and accurate data ingestion, transformation, and delivery.
  • Design, implement, and optimize data storage solutions using modern databases and cloud-native tools.
  • Develop and maintain reporting systems and dashboards to support data-driven decision-making.
  • Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to integrate data services with applications and customer-facing tools.
  • Implement automated testing and validation processes for data workflows and pipelines.


Past Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering.
  • Proficiency in Python.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with both relational and non-relational databases (e.g., SQL, MongoDB).
  • Familiarity with data visualization or reporting tools (e.g., Looker, Power BI, or similar).
  • Familiarity with containerization and CI/CD tools (e.g., Docker, GitHub Actions).
  • Knowledge of networking and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure).
  • Experience with modern data processing frameworks (e.g., dbt, Apache Airflow, Spark, or similar).


Requirements

  • A strong focus on system observability and data quality.
  • Emphasis on rapid scalability of solutions (consider market ramp up when entering a new market)
  • Relentless pursuit of system security.
  • Adaptable mindset — open to using different tools and approaches depending on project needs.
  • Ability to work & communicate across disciplines. Ability to translate concepts using analogies where possible. Disciplines you’ll be working closely with include Data Science, Mobile Engineering, Embedded Software through to other fringe disciplines like Manufacturing, Electronics, Sensor Development, and Mechanical Engineering.


Preferred

  • Exposure to regulated environments (e.g., healthcare, finance) or compliance frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001).
  • Experience working with data residency constraints and multi-region architectures.
  • Understanding of secure data handling practices and basic vulnerability concepts.
  • Familiarity with model-based design approaches, including ER diagrams or data modeling tools.

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.
