Senior Data Engineer

  

A successful FTSE-listed organisation with a friendly, close-knit culture is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help shape and deliver its evolving data platform.

  

This is a hands-on, high-impact role in a smaller organisation where you will act as both a senior engineer and strategic data partner, designing solutions that support both operational and long-term business goals.

  

You will play an important role in the company’s migration to Microsoft Fabric, while continuing to build and optimise its existing SQL Server-based data warehouse environment.

As the Senior Data Engineer, you will work closely with the Solutions Architect and collaborate with teams across the business, with occasional travel to France and Germany. This opportunity suits someone with in-depth SQL experience who is looking to work with modern tools like Microsoft Fabric.

  

Essential Skills

Strong SQL Server experience (T-SQL, SSIS, SSRS, stored procedures, functions, triggers)

Data warehouse architecture, build and maintenance

Excellent communication skills and ability to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders at all levels

Degree in Computer Science or STEM subject

Comfortable working 4 days per week onsite in Vauxhall Desirable

Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory, Snowflake, Databricks

Python or any other relevant language

Experience with tools such as Power BI, Qlik or Tableau   

The role offers a package of £64k+, plus a bonus of up to 15%, along with a generous pension, 28 days' holiday, private medical insurance, permanent health insurance, study support, and a modern office with an onsite gym.

  

If your experience aligns, apply with an up-to-date CV as soon as possible, as this is expected to be a popular opportunity

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.
