Responsibilities Build, optimise and operate ELT/ETL pipelines into our data platform using SQL and Python (PySpark), with a focus on reliability, performance and maintainability.

Strong communication skills: able to explain trade-offs, risks, and delivery choices clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and comfortable being challenged. A high-standards, low-ego working style: collaborative, pragmatic, and focused on outcomes that stick (not dashboards that nobody uses). Must have developed a Data Platform from inception to completion. Managed and developed data engineers, forming a high-performing team.
