Easetalent is a premier recruiting and consulting firm dedicated to connecting top‑tier talent with exceptional career opportunities. Our mission is to drive growth and success for both our candidates and partner companies by bridging the talent‑opportunity gap.


About the Role:

We're looking for a sharp, curious, and proactive Data Engineer who thrives in fast‑paced environments and takes pride in building scalable, production‑grade data systems. You'll design modern ELT pipelines, integrate semantic layers with LLM tooling, and transform raw, fragmented healthcare data into customer‑facing analytics. This is a rare opportunity to shape our data architecture from the ground up, working directly with founders and product leaders.


What You'll Do:

  • Build reliable, scalable systems that power complex integrations (e.g., PMS, payments) and internal tools.
  • Take ownership of projects end‑to‑end from concept to deployed production system.
  • Collaborate closely with product and commercial teams to align engineering with business outcomes.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and continuously improve engineering processes.
  • Develop and debug SQL‑based data pipelines using dbt, and work extensively with BigQuery and other data warehouses.
  • Integrate and experiment with LLM‑powered data extraction and semantic tooling.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2‑5 years of experience building production‑grade data systems.
  • Strong SQL skills and proficiency with dbt and modern ELT pipelines.
  • Experience with Dagster, Airbyte, BigQuery, Cube, Metabase, PostgreSQL, or similar tools.
  • Solid understanding of data modeling, orchestration, and data warehouse design.
  • A builder mindset, self‑directed, execution‑focused, and comfortable making decisions with impact.
  • Bonus: Experience in fintech or healthcare, especially dentistry.

Tech Stack

Data: Dagster, Airbyte, dbt, BigQuery, Cube, Metabase, PostgreSQL, Supabase
AI/LLMs: Google Vertex, Azure AI Foundry, OCR
App Layer: TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, Drizzle, Vercel

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.
