Get stuck in immediately to a database migration using Snowflake.


This company work across various energy and commodities markets across the world. We appreciate that not everyone wants to work within Oil and Gas trading, however, part of the role of the data team is to look at more sustainable options for trading all kinds of commodities products.


You’re going to be getting involved with a number of newly launched data projects, with your initial project being to work on this migration. You’ll face off with the business (Heads of Desk, Traders, Analysts), understanding what they need, discussing solutions with the Data Science team, then building out the best solution possible, whether it be with an off the shelf product, or building it completely from scratch using primarily Python and SQL.


The data team has grown over the past 12-18 months, with data engineering still being built out in London. There’s a strong opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities, so if management is in your sights and ambitions, you’ll be able to achieve that here.


The team are using more advanced technology as time goes on and you’ll be able to suggest potential tools to use. Snowflake is one of the examples of this, as it’s recently been brought into the team on suggestion of one of the team and is now being widely used. Alternatively, if there’s a ready customised tool within AWS that you feel is a better option, then you can use that. There really is plenty of technical freedom here.


In terms of your technical experience you’ll need to have worked in a commercial data engineering role for a few years, this is a mid-level position. Strong Python, Snowflake and SQL experience will be required and any experience of working with tools like Docker/Kubernetes and AWS would be a huge preference. Commodities experience/knowledge is not required but would be a plus.


This is a global commodities firm with a strong history of performance and revenue. Your starting salary will be up to £130,000 plus a performance related bonus. Benefits include medical, dental and life insurance, wellness programs, pension, generous parental leave and various other perks.

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
