Senior Data Engineer (Microsoft Fabric)
Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire (2 days onsite per week)

Exalto Consulting is supporting a major organisation undergoing significant data and digital transformation. We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with strong experience in Microsoft Fabric to help shape and deliver reliable, scalable data products.

Do you enjoy building dependable data pipelines? Want to work with a modern Fabric platform and influence engineering standards? Looking for a role with real impact rather than endless firefighting?

You will design, build and maintain ETL and ELT pipelines, lakehouse structures and semantic models using Microsoft Fabric’s Dataflows Gen2, Notebooks, Spark SQL and Python. Your work will ensure data is accessible, trusted and well governed across hybrid on‑prem and cloud environments.

You’ll collaborate closely with data architects, analysts and domain teams, supporting decentralised data products and helping embed best practice across data quality, lineage, observability and compliance.

What you’ll be doing

Building end‑to‑end data pipelines and Fabric‑based lakehouse solutions. 
Creating semantic layers using star schema modelling and DAX.
Embedding monitoring, lineage and data quality into pipelines. 
Integrating data from APIs, CRM/ERP systems and other third‑party sources. 
Ensuring secure, compliant data handling aligned with GDPR and ISO 27001. 
Supporting CI/CD deployment of version‑controlled artefacts.    
What we’re looking for

Essential

Strong experience designing and operating scalable ETL/ELT pipelines.
Hands‑on Microsoft Fabric experience (Dataflows Gen2, Notebooks, semantic models).
SQL and Python proficiency, with Spark/Spark SQL exposure.
Practical understanding of data quality, observability and troubleshooting.
Ability to explain technical concepts clearly and collaborate across teams. Desirable

CI/CD experience.
High‑volume or real‑time data environments.
Data cataloguing tools (e.g. Purview).
Data mesh, AI/ML, or sustainability‑focused data practices. What’s in it for you

A modern Microsoft Fabric environment with real organisational investment.
The opportunity to shape data engineering standards and reusable components.
Varied, meaningful work across analytics, AI and operational data needs.
A collaborative culture that values continuous improvement and learning.
Support for ongoing development, including DP‑700 certification. This is an urgent requirement so please apply immediately to be considered

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

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.
