We are supporting an enterprise-level client who is investing heavily in a modern cloud data platform that will sit at the centre of its data strategy. This programme will enable more advanced analytics, reporting and insight across multiple business functions.

We are looking to appoint three experienced Senior Data Engineers with strong Azure and Snowflake expertise.

The Role

This is a senior, hands-on engineering position within a high-performing data team. You will play a key role in shaping, developing and enhancing a large-scale Azure-based data platform, ensuring it is scalable, reliable and built to enterprise standards.

The position requires regular collaboration with stakeholders and an onsite presence in Central London 3–4 days per week, so this is not a fully remote role.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Building and enhancing scalable data pipelines using Azure and Snowflake

  • Developing and improving ETL / ELT processes across batch and micro-batch workloads

  • Working extensively with Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, Azure Storage and Azure Functions

  • Designing and maintaining data warehouse structures including star and snowflake schemas

  • Applying recognised data warehousing approaches such as Kimball and Inmon

  • Writing and optimising complex SQL queries to support analytics and reporting

  • Ensuring strong data governance, quality, validation and reconciliation processes

  • Partnering with BI teams to enable effective reporting solutions

  • Contributing to architectural decisions around performance, scalability and infrastructure

  • Identifying and resolving issues to improve platform reliability and efficiency

    What We Are Looking For

  • 7+ years in software engineering or development

  • 5+ years working within data-focused environments

  • At least 2 years hands-on experience with Azure cloud data platforms

  • Strong expertise across the Azure Data Platform including Data Factory, SQL, Storage and Functions

  • Proven experience in SQL development and data modelling

  • Experience building both periodic batch and micro-batch data pipelines

  • Solid understanding of enterprise data warehouse design and loading strategies

  • A minimum of 1 year hands-on experience with Snowflake

  • Experience working with large-scale enterprise datasets

  • Strong analytical mindset with a clear focus on data integrity and performance

    Desirable Experience

  • Advanced Snowflake performance tuning and optimisation

  • Python and or Databricks exposure

  • Experience designing full end-to-end data platform architectures

  • Background supporting enterprise BI ecosystems

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices

    Additional Details

  • Visa candidates will be considered

  • Salary is open and negotiable depending on experience

  • Immediate requirement

    If you are an experienced Senior Data Engineer with strong Azure and Snowflake expertise and are comfortable with a London-based hybrid working model, we’d love to hear from you

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

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.
