Senior Data Engineer (Microsoft Fabric)
Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire (2 days onsite per week)

Exalto Consulting is supporting a major organisation undergoing significant data and digital transformation. We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with strong experience in Microsoft Fabric to help shape and deliver reliable, scalable data products.

Do you enjoy building dependable data pipelines? Want to work with a modern Fabric platform and influence engineering standards? Looking for a role with real impact rather than endless firefighting?

You will design, build and maintain ETL and ELT pipelines, lakehouse structures and semantic models using Microsoft Fabric’s Dataflows Gen2, Notebooks, Spark SQL and Python. Your work will ensure data is accessible, trusted and well governed across hybrid on‑prem and cloud environments.

You’ll collaborate closely with data architects, analysts and domain teams, supporting decentralised data products and helping embed best practice across data quality, lineage, observability and compliance.

What you’ll be doing

Building end‑to‑end data pipelines and Fabric‑based lakehouse solutions. 
Creating semantic layers using star schema modelling and DAX.
Embedding monitoring, lineage and data quality into pipelines. 
Integrating data from APIs, CRM/ERP systems and other third‑party sources. 
Ensuring secure, compliant data handling aligned with GDPR and ISO 27001. 
Supporting CI/CD deployment of version‑controlled artefacts.    
What we’re looking for

Essential

Strong experience designing and operating scalable ETL/ELT pipelines.
Hands‑on Microsoft Fabric experience (Dataflows Gen2, Notebooks, semantic models).
SQL and Python proficiency, with Spark/Spark SQL exposure.
Practical understanding of data quality, observability and troubleshooting.
Ability to explain technical concepts clearly and collaborate across teams. Desirable

CI/CD experience.
High‑volume or real‑time data environments.
Data cataloguing tools (e.g. Purview).
Data mesh, AI/ML, or sustainability‑focused data practices. What’s in it for you

A modern Microsoft Fabric environment with real organisational investment.
The opportunity to shape data engineering standards and reusable components.
Varied, meaningful work across analytics, AI and operational data needs.
A collaborative culture that values continuous improvement and learning.
Support for ongoing development, including DP‑700 certification. This is an urgent requirement so please apply immediately to be considered

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.
