About the Role

We work with clients across all aspects of deriving value from data: from technical implementations like modern data warehousing; through to massively scalable analytics and ML solutions.

Our projects manifest both on‑premise or in cloud, often driving business intelligence and machine learning capabilities, helping customers achieve their Data as a Service ambitions.

You have a constant drive to learn. You’re genuinely passionate about understanding the challenges your customers face and how you can help them.

You’ll bring wide experience of the data ecosystem, including: numerous data platforms e.g. Databricks; data modelling approaches; public cloud services including AWS and Azure; a deep knowledge and focus on security and privacy and their applications on data platform implementations; and OLTP and analytical warehouses.

With experience in Agile and C‑Level stakeholder engagement, you’ll be knowledgeable in the full product lifecycle from discovery to delivery and a champion of quality.
