• Governance & Scalability: Define and enforce policies to ensure the data layer is secure, scalable, and robust across the full product lifecycle.
• Technical Execution: Utilise your expertise in SQL and Python to solve complex challenges and maintain technical excellence.

What You Need

• 8+ years delivering complex data solutions, with proven experience across the full design-to-delivery lifecycle.
