Job Type: Full time Permanent


Company: EG On The Move


We are looking for a driven data engineer who can take ownership of developing our Azure‑based data platform. You’ll build end‑to‑end ingestion, transformation, and modelling pipelines that deliver reliable, high‑quality data for analytics and decision‑making. You’ll work closely with engineers, analysts, and stakeholders to solve real data engineering challenges and deliver scalable, cloud‑native solutions across the business. This is a hands‑on role with plenty of responsibility, ideal for someone who wants to deepen their cloud skills and contribute to an evolving Azure data environment.


What you’ll do:

  • Designing, building, and optimising scalable Azure data pipelines using ADF, Databricks, Data Lake, Synapse, Event Hub, and Logic Apps.
  • Supporting the migration of existing Synapse workloads into a modern Azure Medallion architecture.
  • Ingesting structured, semi‑structured, and unstructured data from a wide range of sources, building metadata‑driven and reusable ingestion frameworks (ADF, Python).
  • Developing robust transformation pipelines in Databricks (PySpark/SQL), using Delta Lake for incremental loading, versioning, and schema evolution.
  • Embedding strong engineering standards including data quality, validation, lineage, error handling, and automated testing.
  • Collaborating with senior engineers, analysts, business partners, and external providers to define integration requirements and deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
  • Contributing to data modelling, metadata management, and consistent data structures that support analytics and reporting.
  • Working within agile delivery cycles participating in sprints, code reviews, CI/CD deployments, and continuous improvement of pipelines.
  • Maintaining and troubleshooting existing data processes to ensure reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
  • Documenting pipelines, standards, and processes clearly for both technical and non‑technical audiences.

What’s in it for you?

Whether you’re looking to build a long‑term career as we expand across the UK or seeking a job with top benefits, we’ve got you covered:



  • Bonus Incentive
  • 15% Food to Go Discounts – Greggs, Starbucks, Subway, Popeyes, Chaiiwala & Sbarro

What we are looking for:

  • 3+ years’ experience in data engineering within a cloud or enterprise environment.
  • Hands‑on expertise with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Azure Data Lake.
  • Strong Python, PySpark, and advanced SQL skills for transformation, automation, and performance optimisation.
  • Good understanding of Medallion architecture, Delta Lake, and scalable cloud data design.
  • Experience integrating data from APIs, cloud platforms, and file‑based systems.
  • Familiarity with Git, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines for data engineering deployments.
  • Knowledge of data testing, validation, and quality frameworks.

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)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. 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.

Education

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.
