Technical Product Owner (Data Engineering)

We are seeking a Technical Product Owner (TPO) to support the Data Engineering team that powers data solutions for our mobile apps. This role connects business collaborators, analytics, and engineering. It ensures the team delivers high‑quality, scalable, and efficient data products that enable data‑driven decision‑making throughout the business.


What You’ll Do
Product Ownership & Prioritization

  • Own the roadmap for data infrastructure and management for four of our apps, aligning with business and analytics priorities.
  • Gather and translate business requirements into clear technical stories and acceptance criteria.
  • Prioritize tasks based on impact, feasibility, and business value to ensure efficient use of engineering capacity.
  • Maintain and refine the data product backlog, promoting openness and coordination across teams.

Delivery & Coordination

  • Work closely with a small data engineering team to lead delivery timelines, sprint planning, and achievement tracking.
  • Partner with solution architects and leads from other teams to ensure design decisions align with scalability and performance goals.
  • Coordinate cross‑functional dependencies between data engineering, analytics, and product teams.
  • Collaborate closely with the program manager to align on delivery timelines and dependencies. While the program manager owns the overall roadmap, responsibility for delivery from an execution perspective will lie with the technical product owner.

Data Platform Ownership

  • Coordinate the delivery and maintenance of data warehouse management (Snowflake) and batch & real‑time ETL pipelines.
  • Ensure all data pipelines are reliable, performant, and aligned with defined SLAs.
  • Advocate for data quality, consistency, and documentation across the data engineering ecosystem.

Collaboration

  • Act as the primary liaison between business, analytics, data science, and engineering teams.
  • Understand app‑level business metrics, indicators, and reporting needs for the apps.
  • Communicate technical progress, blockers, and priorities clearly to non‑technical team members.
  • Facilitate sprint reviews, demos, and roadmap discussions to ensure transparency and alignment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience as a technical product owner or data product manager in a data engineering or analytics environment.
  • Solid understanding of data platforms and pipelines (batch and real‑time ingestion).
  • Hands‑on familiarity with Snowflake (or equivalent cloud data warehouse), Looker (or other BI tools), Airflow, Pub/Sub, or similar orchestration and ingestion frameworks.
  • Experience with data infrastructure monitoring and optimization.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Ability to translate business goals into actionable technical requirements.
  • Background in mobile apps, gaming, or digital analytics preferred.

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.
