This client builds mission‑critical digital platforms that make the UK smarter, safer, greener and healthier. They are a growing digital transformation consultancy delivering enterprise‑scale data services across public and regulated sectors — civil defence, healthcare, environment and land asset management.


This is a hands‑on Senior Data Engineer role where you’ll design, build and operate resilient data platforms and pipelines for high‑profile, societally important programmes. You’ll work in multi‑disciplinary teams, influence technical direction, and help shape solutions that are secure, observable and production‑ready.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design and implement scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and data models for enterprise platforms
  • Build and operate event‑driven architectures (Kafka) and orchestrate workflows (Airflow)
  • Implement data quality, testing and validation as first‑class concerns across pipelines
  • Deliver monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana or equivalent) and runbook automation
  • Work with relational (Postgres/SQL Server) and NoSQL stores; implement metadata and standards (geospatial metadata experience desirable)
  • Translate technical designs into robust implementations and clear documentation for stakeholders
  • Mentor colleagues and contribute to continuous improvement and best practices

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years in data engineering building production‑grade data platforms
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; experience with cloud data services (AWS/Azure/GCP)
  • Hands‑on Kafka (or equivalent streaming) and workflow orchestration (Airflow) experience
  • Proven track record implementing data quality, monitoring and observability practicesComfortable designing data architecture patterns (data lakes, warehouses, event‑driven systems)
  • Experience working in Agile teams, stakeholder engagement and technical mentorship

Apply now to help shape resilient data platforms that power public‑facing services.

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.
