Love getting stuck into code and solving real-world data problems?

Want to work with modern tools in an organisation that values data?

Looking for a hands‑on role where you can build, improve, and deliver high‑quality data solutions?

The Opportunity:

We’re supporting a growing international organisation as they scale their internal data capabilities. They’re hiring a Senior Data Engineer to join a team focused on delivering high‑quality, reliable data solutions that power reporting, analytics, and operational insight.

This is a hands‑on technical role – ideal for someone who enjoys building pipelines, modelling data, and solving problems in a collaborative environment. You’ll work directly with business users to understand what they need from data and then turn that into clean, scalable engineering work.

Why This Role is Great:
  • Build and maintain robust data pipelines using Microsoft Fabric
  • Bring together data from systems like CRM, ERP, HR and more
  • Create clean, structured data models that feed dashboards and reporting tools
  • Handle ingestion from databases, APIs, and SaaS platforms
  • Ensure high data quality and troubleshoot transformation issues
  • Work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into engineering tasks
  • Contribute to a culture of good practices and knowledge sharing with peers

This is a great role for someone who enjoys doing the work – writing clean code, building useful solutions, and collaborating to make things better.

About You:

You’ll be someone who enjoys the technical side of data engineering and wants to get your hands into the tools. The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Strong experience as a Data Engineer in a modern cloud‑based environment
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Fabric, SQL, and either Python or PySpark
  • Familiarity with working in notebooks and building robust, reusable code
  • Experience working with large and complex datasets
  • Understanding of data modelling and data quality processes
  • A problem‑solving mindset and a collaborative way of working
  • The ability to turn real‑world business needs into working data pipelines and models
Nice‑to‑Haves:
  • Experience working with CRM, ERP, or HR platforms such as Salesforce, Dynamics, SAP, or similar
  • Knowledge of Power BI, Power Query, DAX, or Logic Apps
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or DevOps tooling
  • Interest in Direct Lake architecture or broader Microsoft ecosystem tools

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.
