Junior Data Engineer

Remote (UK) | Occasional trips to Manchester | £40k

This is a proper junior Data Engineering role for someone who wants to learn how modern data platforms are actually built — not a reporting role dressed up with a better title.

You’ll be joining a senior data team in a B2B environment, working with real production data, proper pipelines, and experienced engineers who will teach you how to do things the right way.

What you’ll be working on

  • Supporting and developing data pipelines using Azure (ADF, Databricks, SQL)

  • Working alongside senior engineers on ELT patterns and data modelling

  • Helping maintain Azure SQL datasets used across the business

  • Supporting analytics teams by delivering clean, well-structured data (not just dashboards)

  • Learning how data platforms are monitored, documented and improved over time

    This role is about building foundations — technically and professionally.

    What we’re looking for

  • Solid SQL fundamentals

  • Some Python (data manipulation, scripts)

  • Exposure to Azure data tooling

  • Curious, switched-on, and wants to get properly good at data engineering

    Why this is a good role

  • Mentorship from very senior data engineers

  • Real responsibility, not shadowing forever

  • Clear path into a mid-level Data Engineer role

  • Modern Azure stack, owned in-house

    If you’re a junior who wants to grow into a strong Data Engineer, this one’s worth a look

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.
