The Skills Gap in Data Engineering Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most critical roles in the modern technology stack. While data science and AI often receive the spotlight, data engineers are the professionals who design, build and maintain the systems that make data usable at scale. Across the UK, demand for data engineers continues to rise. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, government, media and technology all report difficulty hiring candidates with the right skills. Salaries remain strong, and experienced professionals are in short supply. Yet despite this demand, many graduates with degrees in computer science, data science or related disciplines struggle to secure data engineering roles. The reason is not academic ability. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data engineering work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data engineering.

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.
