THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our delivery team on a contract basis, with a specific focus on designing, building, and optimising data solutions on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric. This role is critical to helping our clients unlock the full value of their data assets, supporting advanced analytics, reporting, and digital transformation. The ideal candidate will be confident working with a modern data stack, automating data pipelines, and delivering reliable, scalable, and high-quality data solutions in enterprise environments. This position reports to the Managing Director of Digimasters and will work closely with our clients’ technical teams, as well as internal data architects, analysts, and governance specialists.

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and data integration workflows using Microsoft Azure services such as Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Data Lake, Databricks, and related technologies.

  • Implement and support Microsoft Fabric solutions, including dataflows, data warehouses, and real-time analytics features. Develop and maintain ETL/ELT processes to support business reporting, analytics, and machine learning.

  • Optimise data architectures for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency in cloud environments.

  • Collaborate with data architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver data solutions aligned with business goals.

  • Ensure high-quality, secure, and compliant data management practices, in line with G.D.P.R. and relevant data regulations.

  • Support the migration and modernisation of legacy data systems into Azure and Microsoft Fabric environments.

  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve data workflows, implementing automation and error-handling as needed.

  • Produce and maintain technical documentation for data pipelines, architecture, and best practices.

    EXPECTATIONS IN THE ROLE

  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure data services (Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Data Lake, Databricks).

  • Direct experience delivering solutions using Microsoft Fabric. Advanced SQL skills and experience with data modelling, transformation, and integration.

  • Familiarity with data governance, data quality, and compliance frameworks.

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.

  • Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical solutions into business value.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field preferred.

  • At least 3 years of experience as a Data Engineer, ideally in consulting, professional services, or large enterprise environments.

  • Demonstrable expertise in building data pipelines and cloud data solutions on Azure.

  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric is strongly preferred.

  • Knowledge of Python or other scripting languages is an advantage.

  • Certification in Microsoft Azure Data Engineering or related is a plus.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
