* Collaborate with analysts, architects, and SMEs to align delivery to business needs
* Contribute to data governance uplift and capability maturity across the section
Skills And Experience

* Strong experience designing and building ETL/ELT solutions in cloud environments (Azure preferred)
* Experience with distributed computing engines (e.g. Spark, Databricks) and data modelling for performance
* Hands-on experience across tools such as Azure Data Factory, SQL Server, Data Lake Storage, Visual Studio, and DevOps
* Deep understanding of cloud-based data services, including ingestion, transformation, storage, and analytics
