Responsibilities

Lead the design and architecture of Nscale's Foundry implementation, ensuring scalability, security, and long-term data integrity.
Define the technical strategy for Foundry development, aligning with business objectives and the programme-wide data roadmap.
Act as the technical authority on Foundry across the organisation—setting standards, driving architectural decisions, and owning the evolution of the platform.
Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to best practices in data modelling, pipeline development, and integration.
Mentor engineers and analysts working within the Foundry environment, raising technical capability and quality across the team.
Design and build scalable, reliable data pipelines that ingest data from infrastructure, platform services, and business systems.
Define data models, schemas, and ontology structures that support operational workflows and use cases across the business.
Clean, transform, and structure data to create a digital twin of Nscale.
Implement permissioning and manage access and security of the Foundry implementation.
Create trusted datasets and metrics that power workflows, internal tools, and customer-facing insights.
Enable self-service analytics by establishing clear data contracts, documentation, and semantic layers.
Build use cases including capacity planning, cost optimisation, reliability analysis, and customer reporting.
Collaborate with Product and Commercial teams to translate real-world business questions into robust data solutions.
Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting to ensure data correctness and availability.
Codify data lineage, freshness, and consistency across systems.
Establish and enforce governance standards around data versioning, access control, and compliance appropriate for a fast-scaling company.
Oversee the integration of Foundry with existing systems and data sources, ensuring seamless data flows.
