• Design, develop and maintain scalable data pipelines across multiple enterprise systems.
• Develop ETL/ELT processes and reusable transformation logic.
• Design and implement enterprise data models that support reporting, analytics and future system onboarding.
• Integrate data into Snowflake or an equivalent cloud data platform.
• Design and implement data quality, validation and monitoring frameworks.
• Develop APIs and system integrations where appropriate.
• Identify opportunities to automate business processes across enterprise applications.
• Produce high-quality technical specifications, solution designs and implementation documentation.
• Support technical decision-making throughout discovery, design and delivery.
• Promote engineering best practice, scalable solution design and knowledge sharing across the wider team.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven experience delivering enterprise-scale data integration and transformation programmes.
• Strong experience working with multiple large-scale, fragmented data sources and designing scalable enterprise data models.
• Ability to combine business analysis, technical discovery and hands-on data engineering.
• Experience facilitating workshops and engaging directly with business stakeholders to gather and validate requirements.
• Strong understanding of enterprise data architecture and data modelling principles.
• Advanced SQL.
• Strong Python development experience.
• ETL/ELT development.
• Experience with Snowflake or an equivalent cloud data platform.
• Experience using Azure Data Factory, Precog or similar integration technologies.
• API development and systems integration.
