You will work almost exclusively on the AWS data platform.

It is a partially business-facing role, so your communication and technical skills are equally important; you will be setting expectations, reporting progress, and managing relationships with senior stakeholders. The role is a technical point of reference in the team and needs a collaborative delivery approach to be successful. The team prefers Agile but chooses the strategy that best suits the team and stakeholders. So, experience with a variety of delivery management approaches will be useful. You'll be part of a team of engineers who work closely with IT colleagues across the world in Mexico, Spain, India, and the UK.

• DevOps automation-first mindset, with extensive experience with GitHub/GitHub Actions (or similar tools).
• Understanding automated tests, both front and backend.
• Expertise in design and document development best practices.
• Strong knowledge of API design (documentation, REST, etc.)
• Strong analytical skills with expertise in data manipulation.
• Understanding of triaging and addressing tickets.
• Experience in technical leadership in data and analytics.
• Experience working in a global team.
• An excellent set of interpersonal skills & a collaborative approach to delivery.
• The ability to liaise with and build strong relationships with business colleagues.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, develop/enhance, and maintain product/scalable ETL/ELT pipelines for efficient data ingestion and processing.
• Design, build, and maintain REST API's intended for system integration.
• Develop and support a front-end application.
• Support solution development and testing, provide technical leadership, and take responsibility for delivery.
• Assist stakeholders, including the data, design, product, and executive teams, with technical data difficulties.
• Keep the AWS base infrastructure properly maintained.
• Provide performance tuning of SQL and ETL pipelines.
• Find opportunities for efficiency and automation.
• Troubleshoot data issues, analyze end-to-end data pipelines, and work with users in resolving issues.
• Deliver technical leadership throughout the software development lifecycle, from the initial development of a technical design based on a blueprint, right through to finding opportunities for reducing operating costs.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience with Agile practices using tools such as Jira.
• Familiarity with Snowflake, DBT, Redshift (inc. Spectrum), and Aurora.
• Familiarity with visualization technologies (the project is focused on Power BI).
• Good knowledge of AI Codegen opportunities, capabilities, and weaknesses.
