Work across AWS services (Redshift, Glue, Lambdas) and Databricks
Design and evolve data models, data lakes, and warehouse solutions
Apply CI/CD practices using GitHub and modern DevOps workflows
Engage with cross-functional teams and vendors to deliver high-quality data solutions

What We're Looking For:

Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Databricks, and Python
Proven ability to work with large-scale datasets and cloud architectures
Deep understanding of data modelling, warehousing, and pipeline development
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control
A proactive, confident communicator who thrives on challenge

Certifications are a bonus, but practical, applied knowledge is the priority. The right person will be technically strong, delivery-focused, and comfortable representing the data team in business-critical settings.

This is a great opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-evolving environment that values ownership, learning, and collaboration.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.
