What does this role do?
Step into a role where you don’t just work with data—you bring it to life. You’ll help design, build, and maintain powerful, scalable data pipelines and platforms that keep our data easy to find, trustworthy, and ready for real-world use.
Get hands-on with cutting-edge tools like Databricks and modern cloud technologies as you automate ETL processes, uncover insights from rich geospatial data, and champion best practices in metadata, testing, and governance.
You won’t just be part of the team—you’ll be right at the heart of it, helping turn our data strategy into reality and shaping the next generation of our data lakehouse.
What will you be responsible for?
Here’s what you’ll jump into:
Build and Maintain
- Design, build, and run robust data pipelines using Databricks, and AWS, transforming large-scale geospatial datasets into high-quality, usable data.
- Automate core ETL processes to enable smooth, reliable, and scalable data flows across the organisation.
- Play a key role in shaping and delivering our medallion architecture, ensuring well-structured bronze, silver, and gold layers that power our data products.
- Support the development of metadata frameworks and data cataloguing, making our data easier to find, understand, and trust.
Collaborate and Support
- Partner with senior engineers and product teams to deliver data products that are not just reliable, but genuinely useful and easy to work with.
- Get stuck into code reviews—sharing ideas, learning from others, and helping the whole team level up.
- Be an advocate for best practices in testing, governance, and documentation, helping to build a strong and consistent data culture.
Maintain Excellence & Innovate
- Contribute to automated data testing frameworks that keep data accurate, consistent, and geospatially sound.
- Spot opportunities to make things faster and better—optimising pipelines and queries with techniques like spatial indexing.
- Keep everything aligned with security, licensing, and governance standards—no shortcuts.
- Stay curious and proactive, exploring new tools and smarter ways of working to keep improving how we handle data.
