  • A sound understanding of modern data architecture patterns including data mesh principles, data lake and lakehouse architectures, NoSQL technologies and schemaless data modelling.
  • Demonstrable experience engaging with senior-level technology and business stakeholders.

This position is a permanent, full-time role, usually based on the University's West Cambridge Site.

The benefits

You can expect to receive:

  • a competitive salary with automatic service-related progression and annual cost-of-living increases
  • a generous annual leave allowance of 41 days per year (including bank holidays)
  • access to a hybrid pension scheme with attractive employer contributions
  • access to a range of shopping and travel discounts through the Cambens scheme.
