• Design and optimise robust data models aligned to analytics and BI requirements.
• Implement and maintain strong data governance, including data quality, validation, lineage, access controls and security.
• Embed data reliability practices including automated testing, monitoring and observability.
• Establish and promote engineering best practice across CI/CD, version control, DevOps and environment management.
• Monitor and optimise platform performance, query efficiency and cloud costs.
• Partner with senior stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions that deliver measurable value.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to Data Engineers.
• Maintain clear technical documentation across data architectures, pipelines, transformations and lineage.
• Keep up to date with emerging data technologies and identify opportunities to continuously improve our platform.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong hands-on data engineering experience, including building and maintaining production data pipelines.
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric and modern ELT/ETL approaches.
• Strong Python and SQL skills for data manipulation, analysis and pipeline development.
• Experience designing and implementing data models and data architectures.
• Strong knowledge of data warehousing concepts and technologies.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.
• A good understanding of data governance, quality, security, compliance and privacy.
• Experience with CI/CD, version control and DevOps approaches within a data environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to tackle complex data challenges.
• Excellent attention to detail with a focus on data accuracy, consistency and integrity.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• The ability to provide technical guidance and mentorship to others.
• A proactive approach to learning and adopting new technologies and methodologies.
