• Contributing to the strategic roadmap for data engineering by providing insights, feedback, and technical recommendations that align with organisational goals.
• Troubleshooting issues related to data integration, pipeline performance, and platform dependencies.
• Working closely with other engineers and business users to understand requirements, translate them into technical specifications, and deliver effective solutions.

• Experience working with Databricks or a similar cloud-based data platform is highly desirable for this role as it involves significant migration projects.
• Solid understanding of building, maintaining, and optimising ETL/ELT pipelines using modern tools and technologies is essential for success.
