Senior Data Engineer / Principal Consultant (UK Launch Team): Help us build our UK footprint. Combine heavy-lifting engineering with commercial impact.


We are Amaris, a global technology consultancy. We are aggressively expanding our Data & AI Center of Excellence in the UK. We are looking for Entrepreneurial Data Engineers who want to be more than just a ticket-completer. You will be part of our "Landing Team", working directly with leadership to identify opportunities, shape technical proposals, and eventually lead the delivery of the projects we win together.


This is for you if:

  • You are a hands-on Data Engineer (Python, SQL, Cloud Platforms) who understands the business side of tech.
  • You have a strong network in the UK tech scene and an ear for opportunity.
  • You are tired of the contracting volatility and want the backing of a global firm (training, bench security, career growth) while keeping the thrill of winning new business.


The Role:

  • Delivery (70%): Hands-on engineering on varying client projects.
  • Growth (30%): Leveraging your expertise (and network) to identify technical gaps in the market. When you spot an opportunity or bring a lead from your network, you don't just pass it on - you help scope it, pitch it, and lead the team that delivers it.


What we offer:

  • A stable, permanent position with a global consultancy.
  • referral/Origination Bonuses: Significant financial incentives for work/clients you bring into the ecosystem.
  • A fast-track to Practice Lead: Help us win the client, and you become the Anchor/Lead for that account.

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.
