• Champion Dev Ops & Data Ops practices with Gitflow branching, structured pull‑request reviews, and rigorous testing.
• Collaborate with data analysts, architects, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into well‑engineered technical solutions that drive strategic decisions.
• Continuously spot opportunities to improve pipeline performance, architecture, and engineering processes—and take action.

Must‑Have

• Proven experience in Data Engineering within a Lakehouse environment (Databricks preferred).
• Strong SQL/T‑SQL skills and a knack for database design and modelling.
• Experience with Python and PySpark.
• Track record of building and optimising large‑scale big‑data pipelines with structured and semi‑structured data.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure Data Factory, ADLS Gen2, and Azure SQL Database.
• Solid Azure Dev Ops practices, including Git, branching strategies, and agile delivery.
• A thorough approach to testing from source system through to presentation layer.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Familiarity with Infrastructure‑as‑Code (e.g., Terraform).
• Experience with data governance, quality, and security processes.
• Familiarity with Azure Dev Ops Pipelines and CI/CD for data platform deployments.
• A curious, problem‑solving attitude and a passion for automating manual processes.
