You will contribute across the full data modelling lifecycle, from design and development through to testing, documentation and enablement, working as part of a collaborative, cross-functional data team. We are moving from a reactive, request-driven reporting culture to one where the data team proactively shapes decisions. That means curiosity about the business beyond the ticket in front of you, a willingness to challenge how things have always been done, and comfort with ways of working that are still evolving as we build them., * Provide subject matter expertise to help shape and guide the overall data modelling strategy across our data domains. * Design and implement dbt models on Databricks to support a comprehensive and unified view of subscriptions and content data. * Build data products, not just reports: well-modelled, reusable data sets that power dashboards, self-serve querying and conversational analytics tools, with clear lineage back to source. * Contribute to the ongoing evolution of our data platform by identifying and delivering improvements to data quality, coverage, and performance. * Serve as a subject matter expert on data modelling, supporting analysts and stakeholders in understanding and using our data assets effectively. * Design and implement scalable and maintainable dbt models on Databricks across our core data domains, including subscriptions and content. * Create and maintain a suite of dbt tests to ensure data quality, consistency, and trustworthiness. * Collaborate with data analysts, engineers, and business stakeholders to develop and maintain reporting marts that meet evolving analytical needs. * Support the build-out of self-serve and conversational analytics capability, helping design data structures that natural language query tools can reliably and accurately query. * Provide guidance on data modelling best practices, performance optimisation, and modular design in dbt. * Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions to uplift team capability. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story)
