  • Implement monitoring, reconciliation, observability, and data quality controls to ensure reliability and accuracy
  • Contribute to future-state architecture and integration standards across the broader technology landscape
  • Collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and platform owners to manage system dependencies and releases
  • Support uplift in engineering capability through documentation, knowledge sharing, and best-practice delivery standards

You will bring

  • Advanced SQL capability and strong understanding of data modelling and warehousing concepts
  • Experience working within Microsoft Azure and/or Microsoft Fabric environments
  • Exposure to enterprise ERP and finance-related data environments

  • Experience working across APIs, messaging, and multiple enterprise applications
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions
