Data Engineer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Data Engineer to join a dynamic company focused on building and improving its data systems. The role involves designing, optimising, and maintaining scalable data solutions to support the organisation's decision-making process. You will work with senior engineers and use a range of cloud-based tools and Microsoft technologies to ensure seamless data management.

The organisation prides itself on offering a supportive work environment, where innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning are encouraged. It focuses on delivering high-quality services through data-driven insights, and the Data Engineer will play a key role in this mission.

Key Responsibilities:

The role will involve assisting in the creation and upkeep of data pipelines that facilitate smooth data transfer throughout the business. You'll handle the end-to-end ETL processes, using tools like Azure Data Factory and SQL to move and transform data as needed.

Should any issues arise with reporting, you'll be tasked with troubleshooting and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Your work will also involve maintaining high standards of data security and governance, working alongside senior engineers to implement best practices. You will ensure compliance with relevant regulations and make sure the company's data is handled in line with internal security policies.
