Senior Data Engineer

Drive measurable change by shaping and delivering large-scale data products and platforms using Palantir Foundry and cloud-native tooling. In this role you'll engineer scalable pipelines, transform complex datasets into operational decision-making assets, and partner with clients to unlock efficiency and insight across critical programmes. You'll join multi-disciplinary teams where pragmatic ownership, creative solutioning and strong technical craft translate directly into business outcomes-building reusable patterns, improving observability and accelerating client roadmaps for modern data adoption.


CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK 'Best Employer' by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.


Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This is a hybrid position.


Your future duties and responsibilities

In this role you will design, build and optimise enterprise‑scale data pipelines and data products that directly improve client operations and analytics. You will work across Foundry and cloud ecosystems (or quickly gain Foundry expertise), translating stakeholder needs into maintainable, production‑grade solutions while championing quality, observability and reusable engineering patterns. You will collaborate closely with architects, product owners and analysts to shape roadmaps and deliver measurable outcomes.


Required qualifications to be successful in this role

You should have strong commercial experience in data engineering, demonstrating the ability to deliver production‑grade solutions on modern platforms. Candidates will be comfortable with large datasets, distributed processing and applying software engineering discipline to data products; Foundry experience is highly desirable but strong Python/PySpark engineers who can learn Foundry quickly are encouraged to apply.



  • Extensive experience with Python and PySpark / Apache Spark.
  • Proven track record designing and delivering scalable data pipelines and data products.
  • Strong SQL and data modelling skills.
  • Experience with modern data architectures and cloud data services (AWS, Azure or GCP).
  • Familiarity with version control, automated testing and CI/CD for data platforms.
  • Experience integrating data from multiple structured and unstructured sources.
  • Strong problem‑solving ability and experience working in delivery‑focused or client‑facing environments.
  • (Desirable) Hands‑on Palantir Foundry experience or demonstrable ability to upskill quickly in new platforms.

Together, as owners, let's turn meaningful insights into action.


Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you'll reach your full potential because... You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That's why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company's strategy and direction. Your work creates value. You'll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise. You'll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You'll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons. Come join our team—one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.

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.

You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio.
