• Support testing, incident resolution, and performance monitoring for DK data solutions.
• Lead technical conversations and reviews, sharing best practices in data engineering, automation, data modelling, and BI.
• Continuously improve DK’s data infrastructure by staying current with tools and identifying better ways of working.
• Collaborate with Data Governance to ensure monitoring, alerting, and metadata are up-to-date.

Requirements

• Strong Python skills for data processing, automation, and integration, with the ability to build maintainable, well-documented solutions.
• Practical experience of building and managing data pipelines using ETL or ELT frameworks, with knowledge of tools such as dbt, Fivetran, or similar.
• Understanding of BI data modelling and reporting tools, such as Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, or Looker, including how to structure data for reporting and self-service analytics.
• Experience working with technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand requirements, translate business needs into data solutions, and support the accurate use of data across an organisation.
• Good understanding of data governance, data quality, privacy, and compliance considerations, with an appreciation of how these apply to reliable and responsible data use.
• Familiarity with cloud services, deployment practices, or CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions or similar.
