What makes this opportunity unique

• Advisory-first impact: Design and influence both short-term fixes and long-term data solutions across a complex ecosystem
• High visibility & fast pace: Regular engagement with technical and non-technical stakeholders - strong communication skills are essential
• End-to-end data exposure: Initial focus on production support and bronze-layer data, with progression into silver/gold layers and new builds

Essential skills

• Strong experience with Azure, particularly Databricks and Data Factory
• Solid background in SQL Server and SSIS
• Proficient with CI/CD, DevOps, and YAML pipelines
• Proven experience working within a production support environment
• Ability to operate as a trusted advisor, influencing data strategy and solution design
