You’ll work in a secure VDI environment and must be comfortable navigating complex and sensitive data.

Ingesting and transforming large datasets (100M+ rows), from Oracle, SQL Server, and flat files (CSV, XML).
-
Writing and reviewing SQL and Python (Pandas) scripts to clean and join data across multiple sources.

Conducting forensic comparisons between data sources (e.g., matching millions of XML records to transactional logs).
-
Supporting peer code reviews to ensure high quality and reduce rework.
-
Working within a locked-down environment using tools like VS Code, SQL clients, and secure remote desktop environments.
-
Collaborating with data consultants and forensic analysts to troubleshoot logic and ensure audit-quality outputs.
KEY SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS
-
Strong SQL (T-SQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL) – must be comfortable with complex joins and large volumes
-
Python with Pandas – mandatory for data transformation and wrangling
-
Experience working with large operational databases, text files, and legacy data sources
-
Strong attention to detail and a forensic mindset – ability to spot inconsistencies, gaps, and unusual data behaviour
-
Prior experience in a regulated, sensitive, or secure data environment is a big plus
-
Previous work in or alongside large consultancy firms
