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.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.
