• Take end-to-end ownership of the data platform, including Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, scalable pipelines, and lakehouse architecture.
• Design, build, and operate robust ETL/ELT workflows supporting batch and near-real-time data processing.
• Establish and maintain data quality, reliability, observability, performance, and architectural standards across the platform.
• Define data contracts, architecture principles, and modular, scalable approaches while optimising platform costs and workload distribution.
• Own Power BI semantic models, KPIs, dimensional models, DAX performance, aggregations, and dataset refresh processes.
• Build and maintain customer-facing dashboards, embedded analytics, and data exports while ensuring consistent and trusted metrics.
• Enable governed self-service analytics and support secure, scalable multi-tenant data models.
• Translate customer and business needs into scalable data products, define reporting standards with Product, and identify opportunities to create additional value through data.
• Implement testing, validation, monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, versioning, and other engineering practices across data pipelines and BI assets.
• Lead the transition from an existing vendor-built BI solution by reverse-engineering pipelines, logic, and reports, reducing technical debt, and rebuilding toward a clean, product-grade architecture.
• Proactively identify patterns, anomalies, optimisation opportunities, and new insights that can generate measurable customer and business impact.

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering, ideally focused on customer-facing BI products.
• Proven experience building scalable data platforms and customer-facing analytics in SaaS or product-driven environments.

• Familiarity with data quality frameworks such as Great Expectations is an advantage.
• Strong ownership and autonomy, with a focus on outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
• Product-oriented and impact-driven mindset, with the ability to connect technical data solutions to customer value.
• Proactive and pragmatic approach, with a preference for simple, effective solutions over unnecessary complexity.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible to both technical and business stakeholders.
