Key Responsibilities:

• Work across AWS services (Redshift, Glue, Lambdas) and Databricks
• Design and evolve data models, data lakes, and warehouse solutions
• Apply CI/CD practices using GitHub and modern DevOps workflows
• Engage with cross-functional teams and vendors to deliver high-quality data solutions

What We\’re Looking For:

• Proven ability to work with large-scale datasets and cloud architectures
• Deep understanding of data modelling, warehousing, and pipeline development
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control
• A proactive, confident communicator who thrives on challenge

Certifications are a bonus, but practical, applied knowledge is the priority. The right person will be technically strong, delivery-focused, and comfortable representing the data team in business-critical settings.

This is a great opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-evolving environment that values ownership, learning, and collaboration.
