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

Hi everyone! 👋 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.

🧠 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:

✅ A bold mission with global impact

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

✅ Smart, passionate teammates and huge autonomy

✅ Competitive salary, benefits, and strong support for professional growth

✅ 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

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.

Data Engineering Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data engineering in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, companies of all sizes — from fintechs to government agencies, retailers to healthcare providers — are building data teams to turn vast amounts of information into insight and value. That means demand for data engineering talent remains strong, but there’s a gap between media hype and the real pathways available to mid-career professionals. This guide gives you the straight UK reality check: which data engineering roles are genuinely open to career switchers, what skills employers actually look for, how long retraining really takes and how to position your experience for success.
