Oversee pipeline orchestration (ETL/ELT) to ensure reliable, high-performing data flows
Work cross-functionally with Finance, Data Science, and Architecture teams to deliver high-quality, trusted datasets
Requirements:
Proven experience designing enterprise-scale data platforms across Microsoft Fabric and GCP
Strong programming skills in Python and SQL, with experience building scalable, reusable frameworks
Deep understanding of lakehouse and medallion architectures
Experience with data pipeline tools (e.g. DataFactory, Dataflow/Apache Beam) and workflow orchestration
A track record of delivering cloud cost optimisation (FinOps) and managing large-scale data environments
Strong knowledge of data governance, data lineage, and cataloguing tools
Solid understanding of IT security principles (IAM, network controls, secure architecture)
Experience leading large-scale migrations from legacy systems to cloud platforms
The ability to translate complex technical challenges into clear, business-focused insights
A passion for raising engineering standards and mentoring others
Nice to have:
