Most data roles sit behind the business.

This one powers it.

We’re working with a fast-growing, Series A technology company operating at the intersection of eCommerce and Fintech. Their platform is transforming how consumers shop online — bringing a more personalised, “try before you buy” experience to leading retail brands.

At the core of this transformation is data.

They are now looking for a Data & Analytics Engineer to take full ownership of their data platform as they scale.

Job Description - the role, activity and responsibilities

Why This Role?

* High-growth, well-funded startup with strong traction

* Small, experienced team — direct access to founders

* Real ownership from day one

* Opportunity to build data infrastructure properly (not maintain legacy)

* Meaningful equity upside

This is a build and shape role — not a maintenance one.

The Role

You’ll own the design and development of the company’s data platform, ensuring the business can confidently query, trust, and act on its data.

Key areas include:

* Designing and building data pipelines and architecture end-to-end

* Creating a single source of truth across the business

* Integrating multiple data sources as the company scales

* Implementing data quality, testing, and validation frameworks

* Building clear documentation and data definitions

* Supporting an AI-assisted data querying layer used across the business

* Working closely with non-technical stakeholders to translate business needs into data solutions

* Collaborating with engineers where data intersects with product

Required Skills and Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

* Experience in a data engineering or analytics engineering role

* Strong SQL and data modelling skills

* Experience with modern data stacks (e.g. dbt, Airflow, Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery)

* Cloud experience (AWS preferred)

* Strong focus on data quality and reliability

* Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

* Python, CI/CD, or GraphQL experience

* Startup or early-stage experience

What Makes This Role Stand Out

* You’ll own the entire data layer, not just a slice of it

* Your work directly impacts product, customer experience, and revenue

* You’ll help shape how the business uses AI on top of its data

* You’ll be building in a fast-moving environment where decisions happen quickly

Package

Competitive salary

Meaningful share options, offering long-term value creation

32 days annual leave, with flexibility around public holidays

£600 annual wellbeing allowance

MacBook and necessary tools to support your work

Hybrid working environment

Regular team socials and company events

Process

20-minute introductory video call

30-minute technical discussion

90-minute in-person scenario interview

Offer

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can build, own, and genuinely influence, this is worth a conversation.

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.

New Data Science Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Leading Analytics and AI Innovation

Data science has emerged as one of the most transformative forces across industries, turning raw information into actionable insights, predictive models, and AI-powered solutions. In 2026, the UK is witnessing a surge in organisations where data science is not just a support function but the core of their products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataScience-Jobs.co.uk , identifying these employers early can provide a competitive advantage in a market with high demand for advanced analytics and machine learning expertise. This article highlights new and high-growth data science employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK startups, scale-ups, and global firms expanding their data science operations locally. All of the companies included have recently raised investment, won high-profile contracts, or significantly scaled their analytics teams.

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.
