• Document the existing data infrastructure, processes, and workflows, and identify areas for improvement and optimization.
• Develop and maintain data pipelines, ETL processes, and data integration workflows using Azure Data Lake, Google BigQuery, Python, and other relevant technologies.
• Mentor and coach team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Extensive experience with Azure, particularly Azure Data Lake.
• Proficiency in Google BigQuery for large-scale data processing and analytics.
• Strong programming skills in Python and knowledge of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes.
• Previous experience in a lead or senior data engineering role, with a proven track record of successful project delivery.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a keen eye for detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

This role would suit an already experienced Data Engineer looking to take complete ownership of Data within a business.

And in return –

• A salary of up to £80,000
• Hybrid working
• Employees receive 33 days of holiday plus bank holidays.
• The company offers a 5% contribution towards a pension plan.
