Junior Data Engineer

Remote (UK) | Occasional trips to Manchester | £40k

This is a proper junior Data Engineering role for someone who wants to learn how modern data platforms are actually built — not a reporting role dressed up with a better title.

You’ll be joining a senior data team in a B2B environment, working with real production data, proper pipelines, and experienced engineers who will teach you how to do things the right way.

What you’ll be working on

  • Supporting and developing data pipelines using Azure (ADF, Databricks, SQL)

  • Working alongside senior engineers on ELT patterns and data modelling

  • Helping maintain Azure SQL datasets used across the business

  • Supporting analytics teams by delivering clean, well-structured data (not just dashboards)

  • Learning how data platforms are monitored, documented and improved over time

    This role is about building foundations — technically and professionally.

    What we’re looking for

  • Solid SQL fundamentals

  • Some Python (data manipulation, scripts)

  • Exposure to Azure data tooling

  • Curious, switched-on, and wants to get properly good at data engineering

    Why this is a good role

  • Mentorship from very senior data engineers

  • Real responsibility, not shadowing forever

  • Clear path into a mid-level Data Engineer role

  • Modern Azure stack, owned in-house

    If you’re a junior who wants to grow into a strong Data Engineer, this one’s worth a look

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.
