• Provenance for every submission, review and transformation, modelled and stored.
• Audit reports customers can verify.
• Detection and redaction of personal or confidential information in submissions.
• Licensing and consent constraints enforced through the pipeline.
• Data governance, in partnership with legal and security.

What you bring

• Strong data engineering in Python and SQL.
• Data governance, lineage or privacy engineering.

• Comfort working with legal and compliance colleagues.

Helpful, not required

• PII detection or anonymisation techniques.
• Data licensing in machine learning.
