Shape the data behind a national fee and payments system. We're looking for a Lead Data Engineer to take ownership of the R-based models and data strategy powering a public sector fees and payments programme.
The role
You'll lead the development, quality assurance, and operation of the R-based models used to calculate key fees and payments — models that need to be robust, transparent, and trusted by both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll also shape the wider data strategy: identifying what data is needed, how it's gathered, and how it's maintained across teams.
