The data service
The data service will go beyond the traditional data warehouse to provide a modern business intelligence capability that enables governed self-service analytics on trusted, well-engineered data products.

- Actively contribute to work estimation
- Adopt and embed agile development and continuous improvement into team ways of working
- Support the onboarding of new team members and coach other Data Engineers
- Actively contribute to drafting and updating our service policies, procedures, work instructions, and guidance notes
- As a Data Solution Designer/Modeller, design robust, secure, and supportable corporate data solutions to meet business requirements, following appropriate data modelling approaches
- As a Data Engineer, develop, test, and/or quality assure data pipelines from corporate systems into the Data Lake
- As a Semantic Layer Developer, develop, test, and/or quality assure semantic models (where required to support downstream analytics and reporting)
- Where required, develop, test, and/or quality assure reports and dashboards
- As a Test Automation Specialist, build automated test frameworks and develop test harnesses for each component. You will be responsible for increasing overall test coverage and ensure a culture of automated testing is embraced
