Job description

What You Will Be Working On

As a Data Engineering & Analytics Engineer, you will own the data lifecycle from source systems through ingestion, transformation, modelling, quality, and serving.

You will build pipelines that extract and ingest data from enterprise and operational systems, transform it into consistent and trusted datasets, and make that data available to applications, dashboards, reporting, analytics, and machine-learning use cases.

You will work closely with the Logging & Data Platform Engineer on shared platform capabilities and with Software Engineers and other consumers to define reliable data interfaces and products.

Key Responsibilities

Data Pipeline Engineering

• Design, build, and operate production-grade data pipelines for data extraction, ingestion, transformation, and loading (ETL/ELT)
• Integrate data from on-premises systems, enterprise applications, APIs, databases, SaaS platforms, files, streams, cloud services, and other operational data sources
• Develop batch, incremental, change-data-capture (CDC), streaming, and event-driven ingestion patterns based on source-system and business requirements
• Build transformation pipelines that clean, enrich, standardise, join, aggregate, and structure raw data into trusted datasets
• Design secure and resilient mechanisms for transferring and synchronising data between on-premises, GCC, AWS, Azure, and other approved environments
• Design pipelines for failure handling, retry, recovery, idempotency, scalability, and changing data volumes
• Automate pipeline deployment, configuration, testing, and operation

Data Architecture & Modelling

• Design and maintain cloud-native and hybrid data stores, data lakes, and analytical datasets
• Develop data models that provide consistent representations of enterprise, operational, and asset information
• Define schemas and data contracts between data producers and downstream consumers
• Design data structures appropriate for operational applications, reporting, analytics, and machine-learning workloads
• Apply backwards-compatible schema changes and coordinate changes that may affect downstream consumers
• Maintain data lineage and metadata so datasets are traceable and discoverable
• Work with platform and application teams to define appropriate data-serving and integration patterns

Data Quality & Reliability

• Implement automated data validation, reconciliation, completeness, consistency, and quality controls throughout the pipeline lifecycle
• Monitor data freshness, pipeline health, processing latency, and data-quality indicators
• Detect and investigate ingestion failures, source-system changes, data-quality anomalies, and reconciliation differences
• Prevent invalid or incomplete data from silently propagating to downstream consumers
• Define appropriate SLOs for data freshness, availability, and pipeline reliability
• Build monitoring, alerting, error handling, and recovery into data pipelines from the outset

Analytics & Data Products

• Build trusted datasets and reusable data products for applications, dashboards, operational reporting, and analytics
• Develop datasets supporting asset intelligence, operational visibility, capacity planning, trend analysis, and decision-making
• Enable advanced analytics and machine-learning use cases using cloud-native data, analytics, and AI/ML capabilities
• Work with users and stakeholders to translate operational questions into appropriate datasets, metrics, and analytical products
• Support exploratory analysis and prototyping where required before operationalising successful approaches
• Ensure analytical outputs are based on governed, traceable, and reproducible data

Data Integration

• Design data architectures spanning on-premise infrastructure and cloud platforms
• Integrate traditional enterprise systems with modern cloud-native data capabilities
• Design for connectivity constraints, network boundaries, security zones, and data-residency requirements
• Implement appropriate buffering, checkpointing, retry, and reconciliation where data crosses environment boundaries
• Select appropriate integration patterns based on data volume, latency, source-system capability, and operational requirements
• Work with infrastructure, network, security, and platform teams to establish secure data flows

Security & Governance

• Ensure data is collected, transmitted, stored, processed, and accessed according to applicable security requirements
• Enforce appropriate access controls and least-privilege principles for data platforms and pipelines
• Ensure sensitive information is appropriately classified and protected throughout the data lifecycle
• Maintain auditability and traceability of data-processing activities
• Apply retention, archival, lifecycle, and deletion requirements to data products
• Participate in security, architecture, data-governance, and operational-readiness reviews

Reliability & Operations

• Operate and support production data pipelines and data products
• Participate in operational support and on‑call responsibilities for owned services
• Investigate production incidents and contribute to root‑cause analysis and preventative improvements
• Monitor pipeline performance, capacity, reliability, and cost
• Maintain architecture documentation, data definitions, operational procedures, and runbooks
• Continuously improve pipeline automation, reliability, performance, and maintainability

What We Are Looking For

Experience

• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in data engineering, cloud data engineering, analytics engineering, software engineering, or a related discipline
• At least 2 years of hands‑on experience designing, building, and operating production‑grade data pipelines
• Demonstrated experience with data extraction, ingestion, ETL/ELT, transformation, data modelling, and data quality
• Experience using AWS and/or Azure native data capabilities
• Experience integrating data from APIs, databases, enterprise systems, files, or streaming sources
• Experience implementing batch, incremental, CDC, and/or event‑driven data pipelines
• Experience working with on‑premises and/or cloud environments, with an understanding of hybrid integration patterns
• Experience applying software‑engineering practices such as version control, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code to data solutions
