About The Role/Team

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team - a team that’s shaping the future of how data flows across the organisation. In this role, you’ll design and implement robust, scalable data pipelines and solutions within our AWS environment, playing a key role in how data is ingested, transformed, and delivered to power insights and decision-making across the business.

You’ll be joining a high-impact, purpose-driven team at the heart of Client Engagement Delivery, helping to drive personalised, data-led communication across one of South Africa’s most trusted banks.

As part of the Data team, you’ll work alongside the Systems & Platform team to ensure the right data is in place to support intelligent, scalable client engagement strategies. This team owns the product line schema that underpins all communications across the bank and plays a crucial role in enabling the Salesforce platform used by the Client Operations team.
