  • Improve platform reliability, performance, and scalability
  • Lead data quality, monitoring, and observability initiatives
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders across the business to deliver data-driven outcomes
  • Evaluate new tools, technologies, and future platform requirements

Requirements

  • Strong Data Engineering experience with ownership of data platforms or warehouses
  • Advanced SQL and Python skills
  • Experience working within Azure environments
  • Previous team leadership or mentoring experience
  • Strong understanding of data architecture, engineering best practices, and data quality
