* Develop and maintain reliable data pipelines and SQL-based data structures
* Support the business by preparing data for reporting and visualisation (report creation will be handled by internal teams)
* Lead the migration and evolution of the data platform towards Microsoft Fabric
* Work independently to define data structures, models, and flows using a logical, structured approach
* Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand system requirements and data needs
Skills needed:
* Strong experience in data engineering roles
* Proven ability to integrate multiple data sources (ERP, CRM, third-party systems)
* Solid experience with SQL and database design
* Experience building data lakes or similar data platforms from the ground up
* Strong data validation, cleansing, and data quality management skills
