About the Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Developer / Solutions Architect to join a specialist organisation on an initial six-month contract. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining hands-on development with technical leadership and wants to play a key role in modernising data, integrations and business processes.
The primary focus of the role is ownership and development of the organisation's enterprise Data Warehouse, building new data integrations and delivering automation solutions using the Microsoft technology stack. While solution architecture forms part of the role, the emphasis is on someone who can design and deliver technical solutions rather than purely producing architectural documentation.
Working closely with business stakeholders, you'll help improve reporting, automate manual processes and ensure data is reliable, accessible and fit for strategic decision-making.
What You'll Be Doing
Data Warehouse & Data Integration
- Take technical ownership of the enterprise Data Warehouse, driving its ongoing development and improvement.
- Design, develop and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines and integrations across business-critical systems.
- Build and optimise data models that support reporting, analytics and business intelligence.
- Ensure high standards of data quality, governance and performance.
- Support reporting solutions using Power BI and other analytical tools.
- Work with stakeholders to identify new reporting requirements and data opportunities.
- Produce and maintain technical documentation including data models, architecture diagrams and data dictionaries.
