Our Data, AI, Solutions & Engineering (DAISE) practice is looking
for an experienced Data Engineer to join the team.

In DAISE,
we are focused on delivering value-adding, sustainable data capabilities, aligned
to our client’s specific needs. This
expertise is applied across clients in all of our industry market sectors
(Financial Services, Products & Services, Energy & Resources,
Pharmaceutical & Lifesciences and Government).

What you will be doing

You will be
using your experience to help our clients solve their most important data

challenges. Depending on the level, you can be a part of our leadership team,
shaping the direction of the practice, growing the business and leading our
people. 

Typical
engagements include: 

Defining and implementing on premise or cloud architectures, for example, a cloud data warehouse, data lake or a data platform to enable digital transformation.  Working with clients in more traditional areas of data engineering such as, data warehousing, building operational ETL/ELT data pipelines across a number of sources, and constructing relational and dimensional data models  Performing maturity assessments across clients’ data capabilities and recommending improvements  Building technology blueprints and advising clients on the different technology options Translating business requirements (both functional and non-functional) into solutions, ensuring compliance with the organisations strategy, policies and standards and in some cases, help customers to define new policies, principles and standards  Helping clients to identify risks and mitigations for their complex data programmes, as well as transition to modern cloud-based infrastructures (AWS, Azure, GCP) by leveraging related architecture patterns (, APIs, events)  Working with clients in key areas of data governance, such as in defining principles including, but not limited to Master Data Management, Data Lineage and Data Security  “I’ve been
working with a large energy client to build their new trusted, end-to-end data
platform in Azure from scratch. It has been really rewarding seeing how the
lakehouse architecture and data model I helped design are brought to life via
collaboration with our client’s data specialists – we genuinely work as a team.
I’ve particularly enjoyed helping them build out and optimise their ETL
pipelines in Databricks and Data Factory with a mixture of Spark, Python, and
SQL.” – Mei Y., Senior Consultant 



Your skills and experience

We are
seeking passionate and dynamic data engineers who are excited by empowering
decision making with data, and keen to take an active part in the growth of the
company. We’re looking for people who can both advise our clients and, when
needed, get hands on in technical delivery to bring a solution to life.

Below we list
some of the skills we are looking for. Of course, do not expect you to be an
expert in all areas and we understand that experiences vary based on the
background and years of experience:

Passionate individual who is excited by problems with data and can bring a good mix of technical delivery and core consulting skills in client engagements Ability to own and run complex client engagements, interact with leaders across industry, work with senior stakeholders to help them understand and frame their problems, assess their current state, and make impactful recommendations which help shape their thinking Good understanding and expertise in delivering data architectures, data pipelines and solutions that are robust and scalable using modern delivery frameworks and tools Experience in using cloud technologies (Azure, AWS, GCP) as both infrastructure and as a service, as well as big data platforms either on-premises or cloud setup Knowledge of different technology stacks including common legacy and modern stacks, experience of applying DevOps practices to data engineering as well as ability to build CI/CD pipelines Competent in SQL and at least one modern programming language, such a Python Understanding of key core concepts like distributed computing, batch & stream processing, functional and object-orientated programming, how pipelines are built and deployed on cloud, pipeline schedules and SLAs Well-versed with documentation and artefacts that need to go along with the solution design and delivery work. Be a ‘lifelong learner’ and can demonstrate a drive to always be learning and developing your skillsets and you are keen to help develop those around you. A degree in a technical discipline (computer science, engineering or another STEM discipline) would be helpful but is not essential for success Three years of more of hands-on data engineering experience

We recruit
individuals at all levels based on merit. Don’t worry about ‘fitting into a
quota’ – if you’ve got the skills we are after we would love to talk to you.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
