  • Develop and manage ETL/ELT workflows, transforming and processing data using AWS Glue, Apache Spark, and custom Python solutions.
  • Create and maintain relational and NoSQL data models to ensure efficient querying, storage, and reporting.
  • Integrate and consolidate data from diverse sources to ensure accuracy and consistency for analytics.
  • Implement data governance and security practices, including encryption, IAM roles, and compliance with GDPR and SOC 2.
  • Continuously optimize data systems for performance, cost efficiency, and scalability, ensuring high availability and reliability.
  • Partner with data engineers, data scientists, and business analysts to design solutions that meet business needs and enable data-driven decisions.
  • Maintain documentation on architecture, workflows, and best practices to ensure consistency and operational continuity.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Extensive experience with AWS services like Redshift, S3, Glue, RDS, and DynamoDB for building data architectures.
  • Strong background in designing and automating ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS Glue, Spark, and Python.
  • Expertise in data modeling, structuring relational and NoSQL data for optimal performance.
  • Familiarity with data governance, encryption, IAM, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2).
  • Experience with frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, or Kafka for processing large datasets.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Java for developing custom data workflows and querying large datasets.
  • Knowledge of infrastructure management tools such as CloudFormation, Terraform, or AWS CDK.
  • Ability to work across teams (data engineers, analysts, business stakeholders) to deliver data solutions that meet business needs.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, AWS Certified Big Data – Specialty, or similar certifications.
  • Experience with AWS Kinesis, Kafka, or other real-time data streaming technologies.
  • Familiarity with tools like Apache Atlas or AWS Glue Data Catalog.
  • Experience integrating data systems with machine learning workflows.
  • Experience with services like Amazon EMR, Redshift Spectrum, and AWS Data Pipeline.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
