About the Role
This role supports Wisr's ongoing effort to modernize and evolve the data platform as the company scales. As a key member of the Data Squad, you will bring strong data analysis, validation, reconciliation, and quality capabilities, coupled with hands-on experience building data pipelines across platform implementation and migration projects in a Medallion architecture. You will play a crucial role in supporting the quality and integrity of our data models and pipelines, helping to build a world-class data platform that serves the entire organization. By collaborating closely with various internal stakeholders, you will ensure seamless data integration, processing, and analytics.
Responsibilities
- Engage with business stakeholders to gather and translate data requirements into testable acceptance criteria and quality checks within the Data Squad
- Design and build scalable pipelines and data models that support data quality, reconciliation, and trusted insight generation within the Data Squad
- Own and evolve the data stack with a focus on data quality and testing practices, supporting platform delivery (e.g. dbt, SQL, Python, orchestration, reconciliation, validation, observability)
- Ensure high standards of data accuracy, integrity, and reliability — especially during platform migration and implementation in a Medallion architecture
- Develop and maintain robust documentation, schema management, and lineage tracking to ensure transparency and traceability
- Form a deep understanding of our data processes and helping to improve them through implementing best practices
- Stay on top of any failures and issues in our data systems, troubleshooting, proposing improvements and implementing fixes
Requirements
- Hands-on experience across modern data architectures, in data platform implementation and migration projects
- Strong skills in data validation, source-to-target reconciliation, and quality testing
- Experience working alongside data engineers on platform builds — validating pipelines, testing transformations, and ensuring data integrity before and after cutover
- Pride in being the quality gate between business expectations, engineering delivery, and business outcomes — ensuring alignment
- Confident working with SQL and Python for data analysis, validation scripts, and automated reconciliation
- Experience with modern data platforms such as Snowflake and transformation tools like dbt — particularly dbt tests, schema validation, and data quality checks is highly desirable
- Experience with data visualisation tools such as Tableau or Power BI to communicate findings to business stakeholders is a plus
- 3+ years working on data platform implementation, migration, or modernisation projects
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of projects, collaborate cross-functionally, and work independently in dynamic environments
- Strong SQL skills — complex queries, reconciliation logic, row counts, sum checks, and data profiling
- Good working knowledge of Python for validation scripts, automated reconciliation, and data profiling
- Hands-on experience with dbt — dbt tests, schema tests, and custom data quality checks
- Experience validating data across platform migrations — source-to-target reconciliation, regression testing, and cutover validation
- Experience with major cloud data warehouse or lakehouse platform (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery)
- Good understanding of ELT/ETL concepts and medallion or layered architectures
- Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or similar visualisation tools
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineers and business stakeholders
