  • Provide input on data readiness for machine learning and analytics projects.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the ED&I data platform, including tooling, standards, and documentation.
  • Stay current with emerging data engineering patterns and technologies; propose improvements to team processes.
  • Leverage AI-driven development tools (e.g., generative-AI code assistants, automated data profiling) to accelerate delivery.
  • Support performance tuning and cost optimization across the data platform.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in data engineering or a closely related role.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.

  • Hands-on experience with MS Azure Storage Explorer and SSMS.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud-based data engineering services and orchestration tools (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric).
  • Practical experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and dimensional or analytical data models.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD practices in data engineering, including version control (Git) and automated testing.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with real-time or streaming data architectures.
  • Experience with PowerShell, Apache Kafka, and/or KQL.
  • Exposure to AI/ML workflows (feature engineering, data preparation for model training).
  • Familiarity with Power BI or other BI/visualization tools.
  • Experience using AI productivity tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor) in day-to-day and data engineering tasks.
  • Understanding of data security, privacy, and compliance considerations.

We Offer

  • Flexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible
