  • Integrating new data sources and connecting solutions into broader business applications
  • Supporting the development of AI tooling and the underlying data infrastructure
  • Building and maintaining business-critical applications and services
  • Working with APIs and application integrations across the wider technology ecosystem
  • Monitoring platform performance, availability, costs, and system health
  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced team members
  • Collaborating with IT and technology teams to ensure scalable and sustainable solutions
  • Taking ownership of solution design from initial concept through to deployment and support

Your Skills & Experience

  • Expertise in data engineering, ETL development, and data pipeline architecture
  • Advanced SQL skills and strong data modelling capability
  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps practices
  • Ability to design solutions and translate business requirements into technical implementations

  • Strong understanding of data platform architecture and modern data ecosystems
  • Comfortable working directly with business stakeholders without a dedicated Business Analyst layer
