Why Apply?

We're looking for a skilled Data Engineer to help shape the future of data within a leading organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to building a product‑led engineering team that delivers lasting impact. This is not an analytics focused role, it's about engineering excellence, Python first development, and operating data platforms in a production environment. If you're motivated by solving complex engineering problems, driving best practice, and working in a business cultivating a robust in‑house team, this role could be the next step for you.


Responsibilities & Qualifications

  • Design, build, and optimise data pipelines in Python, PySpark, SparkSQL, and Databricks.
  • Ingest, transform, and enrich structured, semi‑structured, and unstructured data.
  • Operate and support production‑grade data systems with strong observability and monitoring.
  • Enable real‑time and batch data processing for analytics and business applications.
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, Data Architects, and Analysts in Agile squads.
  • Embed best practice engineering principles and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Strong experience with Python‑based data engineering and SQL.
  • Background in software engineering with experience running systems in production.
  • Knowledge of observability, monitoring, and performance optimisation.
  • Experience with cloud data platforms (Azure preferred).
  • Exposure to streaming and event‑driven data pipelines is advantageous.
  • Ability to work independently without heavy coaching or mentoring.
  • Comfortable working in an Agile, product‑led environment.

What's in it for me?

  • Generous pension scheme (up to 7% matched).
  • 15% retail discount (in‑store and online).
  • Comprehensive healthcare and wellbeing support, including virtual GP, counselling, and cash plans.
  • Inclusion networks and supportive culture.
  • Professional development opportunities as part of a growing in‑house engineering team.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more.
