  • Running structured test cases and exploratory testing to identify UI, UX, and functional issues
  • Reproducing and clearly documenting bugs using tools like Jira or Azure DevOps

  • Helping improve QA standards, tooling, and documentation as we grow
    What you’ll bring:

  • Experience testing across a variety of browsers, screen sizes, and device types
  • Familiarity with the Microsoft tech stack (.NET Core, Azure, SQL Server)
  • Ability to write clear, actionable bug reports and work collaboratively with developers
  • (Bonus) Knowledge of automated testing tools like Selenium or Cypress
    Why this matters:
    In the sectors we serve, users don’t just expect a smooth experience — they depend on it. Whether they’re on a laptop in an office or a tablet in the field, your work ensures our platform is responsive, reliable, and ready for the real world.

By joining specialist groups, attending CPD events, and using member directories, you can unlock a wave of unseen job leads—and connect with hiring managers long before roles are advertised.

Data Engineering Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads data engineers today Ask any Data Engineer elbow‑deep in late‑arriving CDC streams, an Analytics Engineer stockpiling dbt models, or a DataOps Lead juggling Airflow failures: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes monthly. New GPU‑hungry AI workloads spike storage costs, lakehouse toolchains displace legacy marts, & suddenly real‑time streaming isn’t “nice to have” but the lion’s share of your backlog. Each shift nudges salary bands. A PDF salary guide printed in 2024 under‑reports pay the moment Databricks announces another acquisition or HMRC mandates digital provenance. To provide an up‑to‑date benchmark, DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Plug in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; out pops a realistic 2025 salary. No stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, details the forces pushing data‑engineering pay upward, & offers five practical actions to lift your value in the next ninety days.
