Description
As a Data Pipeline Analyst, you will be responsible for building and maintaining scalable data pipelines and ensuring data is easily accessible for performance evaluation and decision-making processes. You will work closely with data stewards, analysts, and other stakeholders to drive data-driven initiatives and optimise our data infrastructure. The purpose of this role is to create and maintain Qlik Talend pipelines to allow the smooth transition of this data into the database by manipulating the data and performing checks on it to ensure that the data is accurate.
The Valpak Data Insights (VDI) department and Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) regularly receive data files from their customers systems with regards to Product and transactional data. This data is transformed and loaded into the existing databases using an inhouse built application. VDI will be migrating to the Qlik Talend ETL software on the customer files to load data into both existing databases and the new Data Streams system.
