Data Engineer - Portfolio Integration and Decision Support for NATO with security clearance

A multinational defence organisation runs a large infrastructure and capability portfolio, and the information behind it lives in too many places. This is a hands-on data engineering seat: build the integration, model the data, and turn it into decision support that holds up. What you would be doing

• Hands-on data integration, engineering and analysis across the portfolio, starting with the infrastructure programmes.
• Working directly with programme managers, analysts and data owners to understand which decisions need which information.
• Designing, building, testing and maintaining repeatable pipelines that ingest, transform and reconcile data from several sources.
• Building the data models, common definitions, business rules and quality controls that make the output trustworthy.
• Prototyping digital data-collection applications that replace spreadsheet-heavy manual reporting.
• Building dashboards, metrics and visualisations that show programme status and dependencies.
• Applying descriptive and diagnostic analysis, and predictive techniques where the decision genuinely needs them.
• Integrating portfolio information with authoritative enterprise sources through approved mechanisms.
• Finding and fixing data quality, ownership, lineage and governance problems.
• Documenting sources, models, transformations and operating procedures so somebody else can run it.

• A university degree in data science, computer science, information systems, engineering, operations research, statistics or a closely related field, or equivalent experience.
• Recent end-to-end delivery you did personally, from identifying the need to an operational solution.
• At least three of the last five years in data integration and engineering, with hands-on work inside the last two.
• At least two of the last five years using SQL and an analytical language, hands-on inside the last two.
• Experience designing or building digital data-collection and workflow solutions.
• At least three of the last five years personally building business intelligence products.
• Hands-on data modelling, data quality and governance work.
• Experience documenting and handing over a solution so it survives without you.
• At least two of the last five years working directly with operational users and programme staff.
• Fluent professional English.
