About Us

We’re Creditsafe – the world’s most-used provider of business credit reports, serving over 100,000 customers globally. But we’re not just about data—we’re a technologyfirst, product-led organisation undergoing a transformation. Our teams are reimagining how data is collected, modelled, and delivered, and Data Engineering is at the core of this evolution.

We’re investing heavily in scalable cloud platforms, Data Vault architecture, and the next generation of engineering tools and techniques—from intelligent developer environments to GenAI-assisted documentation and code acceleration. Our goal is to keep our engineers ahead of the curve, empowered with modern workflows that reduce friction and increase impact.

We’re already integrating Generative AI into our day-to-day engineering processes—with tools like Cursor, Gemini, and Claude Sonnet helping us move faster, smarter, and with more autonomy.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Data Engineer, you’ll work on a modern, AWS-native data platform, building highperformance pipelines and collaborating across engineering, analytics, and AI teams to make data accessible, trusted, and intelligent.

You will:

Build, maintain, and optimise batch and streaming pipelines using AWS Glue, Athena, Redshift, and S3.

Use prompt engineering techniques (don’t worry—we’ll help you learn them) to guide the behaviour of LLMs in automation, testing, and documentation.

Partner with platform teams to incorporate GenAI assistants like Cursor, Claude, and Gemini into developer workflows.

Help curate high-quality datasets, managing structured and unstructured inputs across domains and jurisdictions.

Contribute to metadata enrichment, lineage tracking, and discoverability using DBT, Airflow, and internal tools.

What You Bring

  • Proven experience in data engineering or analytics engineering roles.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL, with strong debugging and performance tuning skills.
  • Experience building cloud-native pipelines using AWS tools (Glue, S3, Athena, Redshift, Lambda).
  • Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow, Step Functions) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, IaC).
  • A genuine interest in Generative AI and a desire to grow your skills in areas like prompt engineering, LLM integration, and AI-augmented workflows.
  • (We’ll support your learning through mentoring, internal training, and hands-on project exposure.)
  • Comfort collaborating across functions and sharing knowledge with others.

Nice to Have

  • Some exposure to GenAI tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or open-source LLMs)— but curiosity and a growth mindset matter more than direct experience.
  • Familiarity with data cataloging tools (e.g., OpenMetadata, DataHub) and Data Vault methodology.
  • Interest in intelligent developer environments (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist).
  • Enthusiasm for creating high-quality, reusable data assets that power both people and machines.

Why Join Creditsafe?

  • You’ll work in a global business that’s investing in modern, AI-driven data architecture.
  • We’re embedding next-generation tooling—including LLM-powered assistants, metadata-aware pipelines, and intelligent developer environments—into our engineering culture.
  • We understand that not everyone’s had a chance to use GenAI professionally yet—we’ll give you that opportunity.
  • You’ll be given space to experiment, drive innovation, and help define best practices around AI and data.
  • A supportive, international culture that rewards initiative, curiosity, and growth.

Ready to Make the Leap into GenAI?

Apply now and help bring intelligence, automation, and creativity into every step of the data lifecycle—whether it’s your first GenAI project or your fiftieth.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
