About the Role

Are you passionate about building scalable, intelligent systems that transform workflows? We're looking for a Full Stack Developer who thrives at the intersection of cloud engineering, data pipelines, and Generative AI. This role combines hands-on development with technical product management, enabling you to shape solutions that power automation at scale.


The position is an Individual Contributor position but requires management by influence and technical leadership as a SME.


Core Responsibilities

  • Design and develop Python-based backend services and React front-ends for enterprise-grade applications.
  • Deploy and optimize solutions on Azure (AWS/GCP experience acceptable), leveraging containerization and CI/CD for daily build cycles.
  • Build robust data engineering pipelines and integrate workflow automation tools like n8n and Replit.
  • Incorporate Generative AI APIs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face) into business workflows for intelligent automation with Azure Fabric downstream.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally in bi-weekly sprints, working closely with product managers, data scientists, and business stakeholders.
  • Own technical roadmaps, write detailed technical memos, and communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience Required

  • Strong experience in Python back-end development and React for front-end.
  • Hands-on expertise with Azure cloud services (AWS/GCP experience acceptable).
  • Familiarity with data engineering frameworks (Airflow, Spark, etc.) and workflow automation tools.
  • Proven ability to integrate GenAI APIs into production workflows.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to own technical roadmaps and translate complex ideas into actionable plans.
  • Previous experience owning the above items in production settings.
  • Experience with Databases - SQL (SQL Server / PostgreSQL) & non SQL Cosmos DB.
  • Experience with real-time gigabyte-volume data streams and stream processing.
  • Bachelor's Degree in a technical field (Computer Science or Data Science preferred) or related disciplines such as ORIE, Electrical Engineering, Experimental Physics, Statistics, and Applied Mathematics.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on cutting-edge AI-driven automation projects impacting enterprise-scale workflows.
  • Collaborate with a dynamic, cross-functional team in an agile environment.
  • Drive innovation with tight feedback loops, cohort-based experimentation, and continuous delivery.
  • We're proud of our award-winning culture and ED&I initiatives. Our meritocratic environment is built on real values, supported by employee-led forums, training programs, and sustainability efforts.

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.
