You should be comfortable taking a problem, understanding what is needed, working out a sensible approach and taking it through to delivery without needing every step mapped out for you.

Experience In Some Of The Following Would Be Useful

• Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Databricks, Snowflake or similar platforms
• Power BI and semantic modelling
• Data engineering and ELT
• Lakehouse or data warehouse architecture
• Dimensional modelling
• SQL and Python
• APIs and system integration
• Version control, testing and CI/CD
• Data governance, security and privacy

Whilst desirable, you do not need NHS experience and you do not need to tick every box. We would much rather find someone who understands data engineering, learns quickly, thinks independently and wants to help us build something substantial.

What We Offer

• A genuine opportunity to help shape a major new NHS data platform
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Strong support for professional development and research
• Close links with the University of Aberdeen and Aberdeen Centre for Health Data Science
• Work with a broad range of health data that directly supports patient care, services and population health

There is a lot to build, a lot to improve and a wee bit to untangle. For the right person, that is a big part of what makes the role interesting.
