  • Own initiatives focused on data quality improvements and monitoring, including anomaly detection and automated alerting.
  • Monitor and optimise platform performance, cost efficiency, and security.

  • Collaborate with the data science team and support colleagues with reporting and analytics activities when required.
  • Support the organisation’s move towards real-time data ingestion and ETL using technologies such as DMS, Kafka, and Kinesis.
  • Help mentor other engineers within the team.
  • Contribute to the team's AI strategy and promote effective use of AI tools across engineering workflows.
  • Produce and maintain clear, comprehensive documentation to support scalability, transparency, and long-term platform sustainability.
  • Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and proactively raise blockers when encountered.
  • ### Requirements
    • 7+ years in Data Engineering.

    • Solid hands-on experience with AWS.

    • You really know ELT design and data warehousing best practices.

    • You're an expert in optimising Snowflake.

    • Excellent SQL and Python skills.

    • Good CI/CD and Git skills.

    • You have used AI coding assistants to work efficiently.

    ### Nice To Haves
