Senior Data Engineer 

Location: Manchester (Hybrid – 1 day per month on-site)

My client is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join their expanding data team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, insight-driven environment and is passionate about leveraging data to deliver tangible business value.

This is not a role for someone just moving data from A to B with Python — it’s for someone who understands how to model, optimise, and apply data to support better business decisions.

Key Experience Required:

Expertise in SQL Server (approx. 75% of the role) including performance tuning, data warehousing, and reporting.

Experience with AWS data services (approx. 25%), particularly RDS, S3, Lambda, EventBridge, and building data pipelines in cloud-native environments.

Proven delivery of dimensional/Kimball data models in collaboration with Data Analysts.

Strong proficiency with Power BI, including performance optimisation and deployment strategies.

Hands-on experience with Python for automation and data transformation (not just file handling).

Understanding and experience of Data Governance frameworks and implementation.

Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and source control for reports and analytics.

Bonus: Familiarity with SageMaker or similar ML/predictive analytics platforms.

We're looking for someone who:

Thinks like a data user, not just a data builder – with a strong sense of how to deliver real-world business outcomes.

Is confident shaping and optimising data for analytical consumption.

Collaborates well with analysts, product owners, and stakeholders to translate problems into solutions.

Why Join?

Be part of a growing, innovation-led organisation committed to building intelligent, insight-driven systems.

Access excellent benefits including hybrid working, on-site gym, CSR days, birthday leave, and more.

Contribute to a high-impact, forward-looking data strategy with genuine business engagement.

Hybrid working policy: This role is classed as hybrid, with the expectation of just one day per month in the Manchester office.

Interested? Apply now to be part of a team where your work directly drives smarter decisions and impactful outcomes.

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.
