About our team:

• Our customers come from all walks of life, and so do our team. We love learning about each other's backgrounds and interests and cherish differing views on the world as they help us to understand others more.
• We're an oddly-mixed bunch, but we have a couple of qualities in common: our people are highly intelligent and extremely passionate about delivering world-class solutions that hold high value to our customers.
• Banter is woven into our culture. Since day one, we've had a Teams Banter channel that's used regularly.
• Personal lives and wellbeing matter...a lot. When our people thrive, we thrive, so we go a step above to support our team members and ensure they're taken care of.
• We have great people who want to be the best. We are a tight-knit team who genuinely care for each other's personal and professional success.

About the role:

You'll be working within our professional services team delivering exciting data projects for customers. Specifically, here's what it takes to be a match for this role:

• Ideally, experience in a consulting environment with the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
• Experience in building cloud systems that collect and wrangle raw data to surface information for reporting or AI workloads.
• Experience in building ETL data integration using tools such as Spark, Python, or equivalents.
• Ability to work at pace with multiple priorities, preferably with consulting experience.
• Good interpersonal skills and confidence to work directly with clients to understand and meet their needs.
• Strong learning agility with the ability to reason and problem-solve across various data domains.
• Ability to translate business ideas into technical architecture and data platform solutions, and communicate these to non-technical audiences.
• Eagerness to expand understanding into emerging tech areas like Machine Learning, Software, Infrastructure, and IoT.

Seniors at HSO/Aware lead our customers and team members to success and contribute to our business in an informal leadership capacity. To succeed as a Senior, you should have prior experience demonstrating:
