Senior Data Engineer

Head of AI / AI Architect / AI Team Lead – Remote (Candidate must be based in the UK) £65k-£80k + solid bonus + potential for equity.

A leading technology driven business is seeking an exceptional AI leader to shape, scale and take ownership of their AI strategy, bith internally and their client offering.

This role sits at the intersection of cutting edge research and enterprise impact, leading the delivery of transformative AI systems across multiple business domains, including LLMs, multimodal AI, generative models, and autonomous agents.

The role is remote working with Adhoc travel within the UK for client meetings, workshops etc.

Your role will invole:



Building, scaling and leading a high performance team of machine learning engineers, AI researchers, and data scientists, driving end-to-end AI solution delivery.

*

Designing and implementing AI architectures across cloud and on-prem environments, leveraging tools like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face.

*

Spearheading the development of production ready AI models, from foundational LLMs to custom built cognitive agents, solving real world business challenges.

*

Establishing scalable ML/AI pipelines and infrastructure, working closely with data engineering and DevOps functions (Kubernetes, MLflow, Vertex AI, etc.).

*

Acting as a thought leader, identifying new AI use cases and communicating technical vision to executive stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

*

Champion ethical AI principles, ensuring fairness, transparency, and robustness in deployed models.

What we need you to have:

*

A deep technical grounding in machine learning, NLP, computer vision, or autonomous systems, ideally with hands on experience in deep learning frameworks.

*

Proven track record of leading AI initiatives from R&D to production, including delivery of generative AI applications, custom LLMs, or intelligent agents.

*

Strategic mindset with the ability to balance research innovation and commercial value delivery.

*

Comfortable operating across cloud environments (GCP, Azure, AWS) and deploying AI/ML systems at scale.

*

Strong knowledge of MLOps practices and infrastructure — including CI/CD, model versioning, orchestration, and monitoring.

*

A collaborative and inspiring leader who brings out the best in technical teams and communicates complex concepts to diverse audiences.

Why This Role Stands Out:

This opportunity will enable you to lead transformative AI products that go beyond dashboards and models, powering real-time automation, autonomous decision making, and LLM-driven innovation.

Join an organisation investing heavily in next-gen AI, with an open mindset for experimentation and thought leadership

How to Write a Data Engineering Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data engineering is the backbone of modern data-driven organisations. From analytics and machine learning to business intelligence and real-time platforms, data engineers build the pipelines, platforms and infrastructure that make data usable at scale. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data engineering candidates. Job adverts often generate high application volumes, but few applicants have the practical skills needed to build and maintain production-grade data systems. At the same time, experienced data engineers skip over adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or misaligned with real-world data engineering work. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data engineers are pragmatic, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immature data practices and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals strong engineering culture and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data engineering job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible data employer.

Maths for Data Engineering Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, maths can feel like a vague requirement hiding behind phrases like “strong analytical skills”, “performance mindset” or “ability to reason about systems”. Most of the time, hiring managers are not looking for advanced theory. They want confidence with the handful of maths topics that show up in real pipelines: Rates, units & estimation (throughput, cost, latency, storage growth) Statistics for data quality & observability (distributions, percentiles, outliers, variance) Probability for streaming, sampling & approximate results (sketches like HyperLogLog++ & the logic behind false positives) Discrete maths for DAGs, partitioning & systems thinking (graphs, complexity, hashing) Optimisation intuition for SQL plans & Spark performance (joins, shuffles, partition strategy, “what is the bottleneck”) This article is written for UK job seekers targeting roles like Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Platform Data Engineer, Data Warehouse Engineer, Streaming Data Engineer or DataOps Engineer.

Neurodiversity in Data Engineering Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Every modern organisation runs on data – but without good data engineering, even the best dashboards & machine learning models are built on sand. Data engineers design the pipelines, platforms & tools that make data accurate, accessible & reliable. Those pipelines need people who can think in systems, spot patterns in messy logs, notice what others overlook & design elegant solutions to complex problems. That is exactly why data engineering can be such a strong fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a data engineering career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too disorganised for engineering”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too distracted for complex systems”. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office environments hard often line up beautifully with data engineering work. This guide is written for data engineering job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a data engineering context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data engineering tasks Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data engineering – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine professional superpower.
