You will receive guidance from experienced colleagues while taking increasing ownership of your work.

Your responsibilities will include:

Building, maintaining, and optimizing ETL and data pipelines.
Supporting the development and maintenance of our data warehouse.
Mapping and integrating data from multiple internal and external sources.
Writing and improving SQL queries and stored procedures.
Helping design data structures for reporting and analytics.
Building automated controls to monitor data quality and integrity.
Investigating performance issues and supporting troubleshooting.
Contributing to AI-enabled solutions within our data warehouse and reporting environment.
Preparing and maintaining clear technical documentation.
Supporting reliable data delivery to analytical models, dashboards, and reports.
Sharing ideas and learning from colleagues through technical discussions and project reviews.

What you bring

A bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.

Some practical experience gained through employment, an internship, academic projects, or personal projects.
An interest in cloud-based data environments and modern data engineering.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Attention to detail and an appreciation for accurate, reliable data.
The ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
A proactive attitude and willingness to ask questions, learn, and improve.
The ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.

Microsoft SQL Server and the wider Microsoft data stack.
Python or another programming language used for data processing.
