We are Zure


At Zure, we help organisations turn Microsoft’s cloud and AI capabilities into real business outcomes. Our roots are in Azure engineering, and our culture is built on craftsmanship, transparency, and doing the right thing for the customer.


Data Engineering Role Overview

We are now growing our UK data practice and looking for Data Engineers. As a Data Engineer at Zure, you’ll be at the heart of building end‑to‑end solutions on Microsoft Fabric—turning messy, complex data into fast, reliable, analytics‑ready assets. You’ll work closely with clients to unpack their toughest data challenges, cutting through complexity to design clear, practical paths forward using the strengths of Microsoft Fabric.


You’ll engineer high‑performing Lakehouses, craft resilient Data Engineering pipelines, and shape unified datasets that power everything from BI to advanced AI. You’ll communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and business stakeholders, representing the company with professionalism and helping clients make sense of complex data decisions. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll solve real‑world client problems, experiment with new Fabric capabilities as they land, and help define best practices in an ecosystem that’s evolving fast. Working alongside talented practitioners across our international teams, you’ll share ideas openly, learn continuously, and have real influence in shaping the future of our growing UK data practice. With a flat structure and plenty of space to innovate, you’ll have autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to engineer solutions that genuinely make an impact.


Always Learning

Our relationship with our customers is important to us. We aim to build relationships on trust and successful delivery. The problems our customers bring to us can often mean that we need to learn new skills and technologies. We are honest about our expertise and experience and support our customers as we operate together with cutting‑edge technologies to deliver their objectives.


Risk‑Taking & Continuous Improvement

We need people who are not afraid to take risks, people who don’t baulk at unexpected challenges because we often encounter problems we have not seen before. That means we sometimes make mistakes, but we make them together and own them without blame. We learn from mistakes because we want to be better next time and to bring that resulting wisdom to other customers.


Community Engagement

Community is also important to us. Not just the community of our colleagues, but the broader technical community that shares expertise and knowledge through blogs, user groups, and conferences. We encourage engagement with the community through meetups and conferences and make sure we have time and budget to support community activities.


Roar at Challenge?

If this sounds like the kind of environment where you will thrive, then we want to talk to you. At Zure we value our people because they are our strength. We are looking for people who love to learn new skills, to face new challenges, and to be continually learning in our ever‑expanding industry. Our mantra is to ‘roar at challenge’ and that requires hard work and commitment – to our customers, our teammates, and to ourselves.


Work Location & Flexibility

Our office is in York, and we try to meet in person every week or so. We may need to visit our customers at their offices. For the most part though, our work is remote (but there’s always a chat channel or call going on). Provided we deliver on our promises, and our customers are happy, we can be flexible over where and how we work.


Is This Your Next Role?

We haven’t defined an explicit job description because our customers don’t always have clearly defined needs. We are looking for people with broad experience in Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Data products including exploring the art of the possible with AI. If you are an experienced practitioner in these areas, then we’re interested in talking to you. Leave your details here or reach out to Rob, Rik or Riccardo on LinkedIn and let’s talk over email, chat, or a call. However you get in touch, we promise to respond!

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.
