The business has adopted a Lakehouse architecture, enhancing customer-facing analytics, and embedding data more deeply across all product lines. This is a key role in building out the reporting and visualisation layer, enabling real-time insight into platform performance, product usage, and end-to-end decisioning effectiveness.

Ensure systems are secure, privacy-compliant, and aligned with regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business needs and deliver well-architected data solutions
Lead by example through high-quality code, reviews, and mentoring of less experienced team members
Drive platform improvements through DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code (ideally using Terraform)
Take ownership of system observability, stability, and documentation

Requirements

Strong experience in Python (especially Pandas and PySpark) and SQL
Proven expertise in building data pipelines and working with Databricks and Lakehouse environments
Deep understanding of Azure (or similar cloud platforms), including Virtual Networks and secure data infrastructure
Experience with DevOps practices and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred)
Familiarity with data visualisation tools such as PowerBI, Tableau, or Metabase
Experience designing data platforms that are stable, scalable, and privacy-conscious
Strong communicator who can clearly explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable working in collaborative, cross-functional environments with a focus on continuous improvement
