Senior Data & Analytics Engineer

Accountabilities:

• • Take end-to-end ownership of the data platform, including Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, scalable pipelines, and lakehouse architecture.
  • Design, build, and operate robust ETL/ELT workflows supporting batch and near-real-time data processing.
  • Establish and maintain data quality, reliability, observability, performance, and architectural standards across the platform.
  • Define data contracts, architecture principles, and modular, scalable approaches while optimising platform costs and workload distribution.
  • Own Power BI semantic models, KPIs, dimensional models, DAX performance, aggregations, and dataset refresh processes.
  • Build and maintain customer-facing dashboards, embedded analytics, and data exports while ensuring consistent and trusted metrics.
  • Enable governed self-service analytics and support secure, scalable multi-tenant data models.
  • Translate customer and business needs into scalable data products, define reporting standards with Product, and identify opportunities to create additional value through data.
  • Implement testing, validation, monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, versioning, and other engineering practices across data pipelines and BI assets.
  • Lead the transition from an existing vendor-built BI solution by reverse-engineering pipelines, logic, and reports, reducing technical debt, and rebuilding toward a clean, product-grade architecture.
  • Proactively identify patterns, anomalies, optimisation opportunities, and new insights that can generate measurable customer and business impact.

  Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering, ideally focused on customer-facing BI products.
  • Proven experience building scalable data platforms and customer-facing analytics in SaaS or product-driven environments.
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Databricks, including Spark/PySpark and Delta Lake.
  • Strong experience with Microsoft Fabric and/or the broader Azure data ecosystem.
  • Advanced Power BI expertise, including data modelling, DAX, performance optimisation, and semantic models.
  • Advanced SQL skills and strong knowledge of dimensional modelling, particularly Kimball methodology.
  • Strong understanding of lakehouse architecture, ETL/ELT design, multi-tenant data models, and embedded analytics.
  • Experience implementing CI/CD for data pipelines and BI assets, as well as version control using tools such as Git.
  • Strong engineering discipline, including writing reusable, modular, maintainable, and testable code.
  • Experience with data quality, monitoring, validation, and testing practices.
  • Knowledge of Azure infrastructure, including IAM and networking, is a plus.
  • Familiarity with data quality frameworks such as Great Expectations is an advantage.
  • Strong ownership and autonomy, with a focus on outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
  • Product-oriented and impact-driven mindset, with the ability to connect technical data solutions to customer value.
  • Proactive and pragmatic approach, with a preference for simple, effective solutions over unnecessary complexity.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible to both technical and business stakeholders.
