| Python | ETL | Impact-Driven Team

I’m working with a fast-growing healthtech client that’s reshaping access to fertility care across Europe. They’ve just hired one Data Engineer and urgently need another to join their lean, high-performing team.

This is a hands-on Data Engineer role where you’ll be at the heart of a major migration project — moving legacy IT systems and databases onto modern platforms. You’ll write Python scripts, build ETLs, and find smart ways to transform messy, unstructured data into clean, structured formats that support machine learning models and real-time decision-making.

You’ll be joining a team that values speed, autonomy, and output. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and mission-driven ideal for a Data Engineer who thrives on solving real problems and wants their work to make a tangible difference.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

Build and optimize ETL pipelines in Python
Migrate legacy databases to modern platforms
Clean and transform unstructured data into usable formats
Support ML workflows and data-driven product features
Collaborate with engineering, product, and leadership to deliver fast, meaningful results
🧠 What We’re Looking For

Solid experience as a Data Engineer, ideally in fast-moving environments
Strong Python and ETL development skills
Understanding of database structures and migration challenges
Problem-solving mindset with a bias for action
Bonus: experience in healthcare, ML, or startup settings
💡 Why This Role?

Mission-led product with real-world impact
Equity on offer with meaningful upside
Interview process focused on how you think, not just what you know
You’ll be joining a team that’s grown from 7 to 75 in just 3 months and they’re just getting started
A chance to be the kind of Data Engineer who builds systems that matter
If you’re a Data Engineer ready to make a difference and want to be part of something meaningful, drop me a message or email me at (url removed)

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.
