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.
