RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and deliver modern data platforms using tools like Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Fivetran, Coalesce, dbt, and Power BI
- Lead projects end-to-end - from architecture through to client handover
- Champion data governance practices that make platforms trustworthy and scalable
- Support clients through the change that comes with adopting new ways of working with data
- Help build internal standards and frameworks that shape how the whole team works
- Lift capability across the team - by doing good work and being someone others learn from
Requirements
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering or modern data platform delivery
- Strong SQL and Python, plus hands-on experience with Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Fivetran, Coalesce, or dbt
- Solid understanding of medallion architecture and dimensional modelling
- Familiarity with data governance and metadata tools like Microsoft Purview and Coalesce Catalog
- Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate development, whether that's Claude, Snowflake Cortex, or similar
- Experience building data pipelines and data products that support AI and ML use cases, including an understanding of what clean, well-structured data looks like for model consumption
- A track record of owning projects and delivering results, not just contributing to them
- The communication skills to work directly with clients and earn their trust
- Previous consulting experience is a plus, but a client-first mindset matters more
