Business Intelligence Developer

Business Intelligence Developer

Peterborough, UK (Hybrid)

Permanent full time

Competitive + Bonus

IRIS is continuing to grow its Data Science team as the business relies more heavily on data to support reporting, decision-making and future initiatives across finance, sales and operations.

This is a newly created role to support the ongoing development of ABIOS, our internal data platform. ABIOS is used daily by teams across the business and plays an important role in areas such as billing, reporting and operational insight, supporting around £500k of monthly revenue.

The role would suit someone who enjoys working with SQL, likes understanding how data is used in a real business context, and wants to be close to the problems they’re solving rather than working on isolated technical tasks.

Why This Role Matters

ABIOS underpins a lot of day-to-day activity at IRIS. It brings together data from multiple core systems and makes it usable for teams who rely on accurate, timely information.

• Used by over 700 internal users each day
  
  
• Supports billing, finance and operational reporting
  
  
• Helps teams view, update and work with trusted data
  
  
• Continues to evolve as the business grows and changes
  
  You’ll help keep the platform running smoothly while also contributing to improvements and future changes, including a move towards a hybrid Azure / AWS environment.
  
  About the Team You'll Join
  
  You’ll join a small team of Business Intelligence Developers within the wider Data Science function, reporting into the Senior Manager, Data Science.
  
  The team works collaboratively and supports one another. There’s a mix of development, data and analysis skills, and people are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions and challenge how things are done when it makes sense.
  
  What You'll Be Doing
  
  This is a hands-on role with a mix of development and support. Day to day, you’ll be:
  
  Building and improving internal data tools within ABIOS
  
  Writing and maintaining SQL queries, views and datasets
  
  Pulling data from data warehouses and preparing it for use in tools and reports
  
  Investigating and fixing data issues to maintain data quality
  
  Testing changes and new features to ensure they work as expected
  
  Working with internal teams (such as Finance and Sales) to understand what data they need
  
  Documenting solutions and creating simple user guides
  
  Supporting wider Data Science BAU activity when needed
  
  As you become more familiar with the platform, you’ll take on more ownership and start contributing to how solutions are designed, not just built.
  
  What We’re Looking For
  
  This role is suited to someone with a solid foundation who is keen to develop further.
  
  You’ll ideally have:
  
  
• Commercial experience working with SQL and data manipulation
  
  
• Strong Excel / Microsoft 365 skills
  
  
• Experience working with data in a business environment
  
  
• A structured, organised approach and good attention to detail
  
  
• The ability to explain technical topics clearly to non-technical colleagues
  
  Experience in the following would be useful but isn’t essential:
  
  
• Postgres, MySQL or similar databases
  
  
• C# .NET, JavaScript, HTML/CSS
  
  
• Azure or AWS
  
  
• Internal data tools or reporting platforms
  
  
• Agile or Waterfall delivery approaches
  
  More importantly, we’re looking for someone who is:
  
  
• Curious and keen to learn
  
  
• Comfortable asking questions and picking up new systems
  
  
• Practical and solution-focused
  
  
• Happy working as part of a team but able to take ownership of tasks
  
  
• Willing to put the effort in and grow with the role
  
  What You’ll Gain
  
  
• A role that supports core business activity, not side projects
  
  
• Clear ownership and responsibility as you build confidence
  
  
• Exposure to cloud platforms and modern data practices
  
  
• Support and on-the-job learning from an experienced team
  
  
• Opportunities to develop towards more advanced data work over time
