We treat data with respect and use it only for the right purpose. Our people are positive, dedicated, and relentless, striving for interactions that are engaging, informative, and fun in equal measure while maintaining a steely focus on outcomes and delivering quality products for our customers.

We're passionate about our people, wanting our colleagues to develop the things they're good at and enjoy.

  • Implement and manage data storage solutions leveraging both on-premises infrastructure and Azure, ensuring seamless data integration and accessibility across platforms.
  • Utilise Docker for containerisation and Kubernetes for orchestration, ensuring scalable and efficient deployment of applications across both cloud-based and on-premises environments.
  • Employ tools such as Apache Airflow to automate data flows and manage complex workflows within hybrid environments.

Requirements

  • Strong Python skills and expertise in scripting and automating data processes across varied environments.
  • Experience with ETL/ELT and developing and optimising ETL or ELT workflows, particularly in hybrid (on-premises and Azure) environments.
  • Expertise in hybrid cloud data architecture and integrating on-premises infrastructure with Azure cloud services.
  • Containerisation and orchestration expertise, including Docker and Kubernetes in managing applications across both on-premises and cloud platforms.
  • Proficiency in workflow automation tools, including Apache Airflow in hybrid data environments.
  • Experience in event streaming and managing and deploying event streaming platforms like Kafka.
  • Data security knowledge and experience with implementing security practices and tools, including Keycloak, across multiple platforms.
  • Search and database management skills, including managing Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL in environments that span on-premises and cloud infrastructures.

Your Impact

In this role, you will empower business leaders to make informed decisions by delivering timely, accurate, and actionable data insights from a robust, hybrid infrastructure. Your expertise will drive the seamless integration of on-premises and cloud-based data solutions, enhancing both the flexibility and scalability of our data operations.
