Role: Senior Azure Cloud Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer

Location: Office in Bedfordshire

Working Arrangements: Hybrid working policy of 2 days in the office per week

Salary: up to £100k plus great benefits, including enhanced pension and 35 hour working week

You’ve been looking for a great company that’s financially stable, with a lot of interesting work to do, with modern tech, that you can throw yourself into and use your skills to their fullest.

You want to be around people physically some of the week to collaborate and to feel a part of something bigger than yourself.

If this describes you, read on, this could be the one for you.

A great little company, of around 10 people, in Bedfordshire are building out a new engineering team and you could be a part of it. They are a Microsoft house, so their cloud infrastructure tech is strongly centered around Azure, and their services.

At a glance, here’s what you’ll need experience with:

  • Strong knowledge of Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure FrontDoor, Azure ADB2C, Azure SQL and Azure API Management

  • Experience of Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and Application Insights

  • Proficiency with Azure Backup and Site Recovering

  • Skills in Azure Cost Management and billing

  • Knowledge of Azure DevOps pipelines

    I am looking for someone who is the full package- not only a Cloud Infrastructure/ DevOps Engineer, skilled in the above technologies, who loves to create efficient, elegant, and well-documented technical solutions, but also who is a great person to be around- a real team player who is naturally curious, takes the initiative, and wants to pitch in wherever they can whilst maintaining and advocating for best practice and who adheres to the Well-Architected Framework.

    They are, as a company, about to undertake a huge migration project to bring their technical estate back in-house, from a 3rd party. This will span across all areas of the business and will be keeping everyone busy for a long while! Don’t worry though, once this is completed, there will be lots of other projects, products, and solutions to be made, so you’ll not be bored here.

    As you can imagine, big projects like this need short feedback loops and lots of collaboration, which is often easier to do when everyone is in the same place, so a hybrid working policy of 2 days per week in the office is there to facilitate that.

    This is great role for you to really use all your skills on some fab projects, in a fun environment with friendly, talented people. If you’re looking to make your mark at a company, shape how things are done, and have a voice – this is the place for you.

    If this sounds right up your street, get in touch now or apply for immediate consideration!

    We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background

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.
