We are DataOps advocates and use software engineering best practices to build scalable and re-usable data solutions to help clients use their data to gain insights, drive decisions, and deliver business value. Clients don’t engage BJSS to do the straightforward things; they ask us to help with their biggest challenges, which means we get to work with a wide range of tools and technologies, always learning new things.

BJSS data engineers are specialist software engineers who build, optimize, and maintain data applications, systems, and services. This role combines software engineering discipline with expertise in building data solutions to deliver business value.

As a BJSS data engineer, you’ll help our clients deploy data pipelines and processes in a production-safe manner, using the latest technologies within a DataOps culture.

You’ll work in a fast-moving, agile environment within multi-disciplinary teams of highly skilled consultants, delivering modern data platforms into large organizations.

You can expect to be involved in various projects in the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), utilizing data services such as Databricks, Data Factory, Synapse, Kafka, Redshift, Glue, Athena, BigQuery, S3, Cloud Data Fusion, etc.

About You

• You're an engineer at heart and enjoy building reliable, efficient data applications, systems, services, and platforms.
• You understand coding best practices, design patterns, and have experience with code and data versioning, dependency management, code quality, optimization, error handling, logging, monitoring, validation, and alerting.

• You are skilled in writing complex queries against relational and non-relational data stores.
