## About the Role

We're interested in someone with a good grounding in data engineering who wants to continue developing their skills.

You'll ideally bring:

 * Hands-on experience with Azure Databricks and PySpark.
 * Strong SQL skills, including data transformations and querying complex datasets.
 * Experience developing or maintaining ETL/ELT data pipelines.
 * Knowledge of Azure Data Factory or similar data integration tools.
 * An understanding of dimensional data modelling and lakehouse concepts.
 * Experience working with BI teams, Power BI datasets or reporting solutions.
 * A collaborative approach, good problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly.

Experience with Delta Lake, Azure DevOps, CI/CD or ITIL-aligned environments would be beneficial. Exposure to finance, procurement, hospitality or retail data would also be useful, but is not essential.

You don't need to have led a major data migration or worked at enterprise architect level. The important thing is having the right technical foundations, a practical mindset and the motivation to learn.

## Description

* Building and maintaining data pipelines within Azure, using Databricks, PySpark and Azure Data Factory.
 * Developing SQL and Spark transformations to ingest, cleanse and prepare data from multiple sources.
 * Applying data modelling and lakehouse principles to create reliable, reusable datasets.
 * Supporting data migration and integration as part of a wider business transformation programme.
 * Preparing and optimising datasets to support Power BI reporting and business intelligence.
 * Working with internal teams and external vendors to ensure data is accurate, traceable, secure and available when needed.
 * Contributing to improvements in data quality, performance and delivery processes.
 * Documenting solutions and sharing knowledge across the team., If you're a Data Engineer who enjoys combining data engineering with BI and reporting, we'd love to hear from you.
