- Exposure to data warehousing, data lakes and modern data architecture
- Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS preferred - Redshift, Athena, S3, Glue. Azure accepted)
- Understanding of workflow orchestration and automation tools
- Python experience (including PySpark) is beneficial but not essential
- Exposure to BI platforms such as Power BI, Tableau or QuickSight, with an understanding of how backend data models support reporting and visualisation
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A genuine interest in modern data engineering practices and emerging technologies
The Team
You'll be joining a highly collaborative and engaging team within a business that genuinely invests in its people.
