This is an opportunity to build high-impact pipelines, implement real-time streaming solutions, and collaborate cross-functionally across engineering, product, and analytics teams.

About the Role

As a Data Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing and maintaining robust data pipelines, streamlining data ingestion from multiple sources, and building scalable warehousing and lakehouse solutions. You'll also be involved in shaping the platform's event-driven architecture and implementing observability best practices to ensure reliability and traceability.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable data pipelines (ETL/ELT) for ingestion, transformation, and loading from a wide variety of structured and unstructured sources

  • Develop solutions for real-time and event-driven data processing using modern streaming frameworks

  • Build and maintain data warehouses and data lakes to support business intelligence and analytics use cases

  • Work closely with engineering and product teams to gather requirements and translate them into data architecture and flows

  • Implement observability, logging, and monitoring strategies to maintain performance, reliability, and traceability

  • Improve developer and stakeholder experience through automation and tooling

  • Document systems and data flows with clarity and precision

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years in a Data Engineering or Software Engineering role with strong data focus

  • Proficiency inPythonandSQL, including performance tuning and data model design

  • Hands-on experience withAWS(Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) andSnowflake

  • Familiarity with orchestration tools likeAirflow,AWS Step Functions, or similar

  • Experience with distributed data processing (e.g. Spark, Kafka, Flink) and event-driven architectures

  • Strong understanding of data observability and pipeline reliability principles

  • Clear communicator with strong documentation and diagramming skills

Bonus Points For

  • Experience withAWS Glue,DBT, or similar transformation tools

  • API development for data serving and integration

  • Hands-on knowledge ofserverless data processingand pipeline-as-code

  • Monitoring with tools likeHoneycomb,CloudWatch,Datadog, orOpenTelemetry

You'll Thrive If You Are

  • Someone who prefersmomentum over perfection, building small wins that lead to big impact

  • Always questioning the status quo and suggesting ways to improve systems

  • Motivated to reduce friction and resolve technical debt

  • Collaborative, empathetic, and driven to create value for customers and colleagues alike

If you're passionate about high-performance data systems, working cross-functionally, and contributing to a modern, scalable platform this could be the perfect fit.

Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Frameworks & Platforms to Learn Now

Machine learning is no longer confined to academic research—it's embedded in how UK companies detect fraud, recommend content, automate processes & forecast risk. But with model complexity rising and LLMs transforming workflows, employers are demanding new skills from machine learning professionals. Welcome to the Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the top languages, frameworks, platforms & tools shaping machine learning roles in the UK. Whether you're an aspiring ML engineer or a mid-career data scientist, this radar shows what to learn now to stay job-ready in 2026.

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

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.
