In this role, you’ll enhance the data platform, develop advanced data pipelines, and integrate cutting-edge technologies like DataOps and Generative AI, including Large Language Models (LLMs).

You’ll have proven experience developing AWS Cloud platforms end to end, orchestrating data using Dagster or similar as well as coding in Python and SQL.

  • Ensure data security, compliance, and governance across data systems.
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate data workflows and enhance system reliability.
  • Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements: automating manual processes, optimizing data delivery, re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability and performance.


Essential Skills and Experience:

  • Hands-on experience with AWS services, including Lambda, Glue, Athena, RDS, and S3.
  • Strong SQL skills for data transformation, cleaning, and loading.
  • Strong coding experience with Python and Pandas.
  • Experience with any flavour of data pipeline and workflow management tools: Dagster, Celery, Airflow, etc.
  • Build processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, dependency and workload management.
  • Experience supporting and working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate with remote teams (US, Canada)


Nice to Have

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science 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 Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
