Senior Data Engineer  | Northamptonshire | Hybrid (1 day a week in) | £60-70k + bonus +_ benefits

We are thrilled to be recruiting for a Senior Data Engineer on behalf of our client, an innovative and ambitious company making strides in the financial services sector. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced data engineer to join a forward-thinking business at a pivotal time, taking the lead on transforming their data infrastructure and playing a crucial role in shaping the future of the company’s data strategy.

The Role

As Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of a major project to rebuild and modernise the company’s data infrastructure from the ground up. This role offers a unique chance to have a lasting impact, moving the organisation away from legacy systems and into the future with a cutting-edge data platform.

Your core responsibility will be to design, build, and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure that can support the company’s current and future data needs. You will work with modern data warehouse technologies such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, selecting the right tools to meet the organisation's needs. You’ll establish standards for data quality and integrity, ensuring the business has access to reliable, high-quality data at all times.

Key responsibilities include:

Designing and developing modern data architecture from scratch.
Implementing data pipelines and warehouse solutions to support analytics, reporting, and machine learning.
Ensuring the highest standards of data quality, integrity, and availability across the organisation.
Collaborating with various teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
Creating comprehensive documentation of data processes and systems.
What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience in data engineering within cloud environments and a solid understanding of ETL/ELT processes, data modelling, and CI/CD pipelines. You should be well-versed in working with cloud-native architectures and have hands-on experience with one or more data warehouse solutions like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.

Experience in workflow automation tools such as Airflow, Luigi, or DBT is highly desirable, alongside expertise in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Pulumi. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be working closely with non-technical stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into understandable terms.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
