Senior Data Engineer/ Scientist

Overview

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

  • 4/5 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 and communicate across disciplines, including Data Science, Mobile Engineering, Embedded Software, 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.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
