Isio has commenced a data warehouse approach to creating repeatable MI/BI, and we are looking for someone to work with this solution to maintain and enhance it as business needs evolve. This will involve building and maintaining connections to Isio’s systems, ensuring the solution is designed and implemented efficiently, and that reporting can be easily accessed by stakeholders.


The role will report into the System Operations Manager and will work closely with IT and business stakeholders across Isio.

  • Own, monitor, and evolve the current Azure Data warehouse, developing and implementing data engineering best‑practice (e.g., source‑to‑target mappings, coding standards, data quality).
  • Create and maintain ETL processes, data mappings and transformations to orchestrate data integrations.
  • Ensure data integrity, quality, privacy and security across systems, in line with client and regulatory requirements.
  • Optimise data solutions for performance and scalability. Explore new data management and processing techniques, making recommendations where appropriate.
  • Adhere to Isio’s software engineering best practices (technical design, review, unit testing, monitoring & alerting, source code management and documentation).
  • Become a subject matter expert and point of contact on available data within the business.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand their data needs and create data models accordingly.
  • Be accountable for ensuring ongoing documentation is held within Confluence and updated regularly.

  • Experience setting up monitoring and data quality exception handling.
  • Experience managing and developing CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience working with Microsoft Azure products.
  • Experience with APIs to integrate data flows between disparate cloud systems.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Knowledge and understanding of best‑practice security standards.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to establish credibility and develop effective business relationships.
  • Ability to quickly understand information, business models and requirements.
  • Awareness of regulated environments and experience of data legislation and cyber security accreditations such as GDPR, ISO27001, Cyber Essentials.

New Data Engineering Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving the Data Revolution

Data engineering is at the heart of the digital economy, transforming raw data into actionable insights, powering analytics, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure. As the UK and global markets continue to invest heavily in data platforms, pipelines, and real-time analytics, demand for skilled data engineers is growing rapidly. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk , the critical question is: which companies are expanding, hiring, and shaping the future of data-driven business? This article highlights new data engineering employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, scale-ups, and international firms expanding in the UK.

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.
