We're Hiring: Staff Engineer (ML-Native / Software Engineering) - Remote

Hi everyone! đź‘‹ I'm currently hiring for a Staff Engineer to join a global tech company that's shaping the future of online safety and digital experiences.

This role is ideal for someone who lives at the intersection of machine learning and strong software engineering, and wants to build real-world systems that make a difference.

đź§  What You'll Be Doing:

Designing & building scalable systems-from ML pipelines to microservices and APIs
Owning full lifecycle delivery: from research notebooks or rough concepts to clean, robust, and reliable production code
Collaborating across teams-engineering, product, data, and more
Leading by example as a senior individual contributor, mentoring others and setting technical direction
Working with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred), security-first architecture, and modern dev practices

🌟 What They're Looking For:

A builder's mindset: you thrive on solving problems end-to-end, not just prototyping
Deep backend/software engineering experience (we use modern cloud platforms, containers, APIs, etc.)
ML-native thinking: you're excited by ML, know when (and when not) to apply it, and can scale it pragmatically
Strong systems design, architecture, and a clear, pragmatic communication style
Experience leading complex technical projects or products, either in a company, startup, or open-source community

Bonus points if you've worked on privacy tech, GraphQL, OAuth, embedded systems, or large-scale data pipelines.

🌍 Why You Might Love It:

âś… A bold mission with global impact

âś… Remote-first setup (EST to CET) + offices in Berlin & multiple other locations

âś… Smart, passionate teammates and huge autonomy

âś… Competitive salary, benefits, and strong support for professional growth

âś… The chance to "re-found" a company at a pivotal moment in its evolution

If this sounds like something you'd thrive in-or even if you're just curious-I'd love to chat and tell you more.

Feel free to apply here

Why Data Engineering Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For many years, data engineering in the UK meant designing pipelines, moving data between systems, and ensuring analysts had what they needed. Today, the field is expanding. With cloud platforms, machine learning, real-time analytics and the explosion of sensitive personal data, employers expect data engineers to do much more. Modern data engineering is no longer just about code and storage. It requires legal awareness, ethical judgement, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. These disciplines shape how data is collected, processed, explained and trusted. In this article, we’ll explore why data engineering careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design now influence job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive.

Data Engineering Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Engineering Department

Data has become the lifeblood of modern organisations. Every sector in the UK—finance, healthcare, retail, government, technology—is increasingly relying on insights derived from data to drive decisions, deliver products, and improve operations. But raw data on its own isn’t enough. To make data useful, reliable, secure, and scalable, companies must build strong data engineering teams. If you’re recruiting for data engineering or seeking a role, understanding the structure of such a team and who does what is essential. This article breaks down the typical roles in a modern data engineering department, how they collaborate, required skills and qualifications, expected UK salaries, common challenges, and advice on structuring and growing a data engineering team.
