About the Role

We are DataOps advocates and use software engineering best practices to build scalable and re-usable data solutions to help clients use their data to gain insights, drive decisions and deliver business value. Clients don’t engage BJSS to do the straightforward things, they ask us to help on their biggest challenges which means we get to work with a wide range of tools and technologies and there are always new things to learn.

BJSS data engineers are specialist software engineers that build, optimise and maintain data applications, systems and services. This role combines the discipline of software engineering with the knowledge and experience of building data solutions in order to deliver business value.

As a BJSS data engineer you’ll help our clients deploy data pipelines and processes in a production-safe manner, using the latest technologies and with a DataOps culture.

You’ll work in a fast moving, agile environment, within multi-disciplinary teams of highly skilled consultants, delivering modern data platforms into large organisations.

You can expect to get involved in variety of projects in the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), learning about and using data services such as Databricks, Data Factory, Synapse, Kafka, Redshift, Glue, Athena, BigQuery, S3, Cloud Data Fusion etc.

About You

You're an engineer at heart and enjoy the challenge of building reliable, efficient data applications systems, services and platforms. You have a good understanding of coding best practices and design patterns and experience with code and data versioning, dependency management, code quality and optimisation, error handling, logging, monitoring, validation and alerting. You have experience in writing well tested object-oriented Python. You have experience with using CI/CD tooling to analyse, build, test and deploy your code. You have a good understanding of design choices for data storage and data processing, with a particular focus on cloud data services. You have experience in using parallel computing to process large datasets and to optimise computationally intensive tasks. You have experience in programmatically deploying, scheduling and monitoring components in a workflow. You have experience in writing complex queries against relational and non-relational data stores.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Data Science Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's data science sector has matured into one of Europe's most intellectually rewarding and financially attractive technology markets, with roles spanning from junior data analysts to principal data scientists and heads of artificial intelligence. With data science positions commanding salaries from £30,000 for graduate data analysts to £140,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this intellectually stimulating and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional analytical roles, data science hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by business intelligence cycles, research funding schedules, and machine learning project timelines. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, business impact requirements, and cutting-edge technology adoption creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in extracting insights from tomorrow's data. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for data science job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise analytics strategies, academic research cycles, and artificial intelligence initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of intelligent systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Launch Your Career in Data Science: The UK's Analytics Revolution

The United Kingdom stands at the forefront of a data science revolution that's reshaping how businesses make decisions, governments craft policies, and society tackles its greatest challenges. From the machine learning algorithms powering London's fintech innovation to the predictive models guiding Manchester's smart city initiatives, Britain's transformation into a data-driven economy has created an unprecedented demand for skilled data scientists that far outstrips the available talent. If you've been contemplating a career transition or seeking to position yourself at the cutting edge of the digital economy, data science represents one of the most intellectually stimulating, financially rewarding, and socially impactful career paths available today. The convergence of big data maturation, artificial intelligence mainstream adoption, business intelligence evolution, and cross-industry digital transformation has created the perfect conditions for data science career success.
