Love getting stuck into code and solving real-world data problems?

Want to work with modern tools in an organisation that values data?

Looking for a hands‑on role where you can build, improve, and deliver high‑quality data solutions?

The Opportunity:

We’re supporting a growing international organisation as they scale their internal data capabilities. They’re hiring a Senior Data Engineer to join a team focused on delivering high‑quality, reliable data solutions that power reporting, analytics, and operational insight.

This is a hands‑on technical role – ideal for someone who enjoys building pipelines, modelling data, and solving problems in a collaborative environment. You’ll work directly with business users to understand what they need from data and then turn that into clean, scalable engineering work.

Why This Role is Great:
  • Build and maintain robust data pipelines using Microsoft Fabric
  • Bring together data from systems like CRM, ERP, HR and more
  • Create clean, structured data models that feed dashboards and reporting tools
  • Handle ingestion from databases, APIs, and SaaS platforms
  • Ensure high data quality and troubleshoot transformation issues
  • Work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into engineering tasks
  • Contribute to a culture of good practices and knowledge sharing with peers

This is a great role for someone who enjoys doing the work – writing clean code, building useful solutions, and collaborating to make things better.

About You:

You’ll be someone who enjoys the technical side of data engineering and wants to get your hands into the tools. The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Strong experience as a Data Engineer in a modern cloud‑based environment
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Fabric, SQL, and either Python or PySpark
  • Familiarity with working in notebooks and building robust, reusable code
  • Experience working with large and complex datasets
  • Understanding of data modelling and data quality processes
  • A problem‑solving mindset and a collaborative way of working
  • The ability to turn real‑world business needs into working data pipelines and models
Nice‑to‑Haves:
  • Experience working with CRM, ERP, or HR platforms such as Salesforce, Dynamics, SAP, or similar
  • Knowledge of Power BI, Power Query, DAX, or Logic Apps
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or DevOps tooling
  • Interest in Direct Lake architecture or broader Microsoft ecosystem tools

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.
