* Design and evolve modern data architecture (data mesh, lakes, dimensional modelling)
* Build robust, event-driven pipelines with Python, SQL, and cloud-native tooling
* Improve the delivery and reliability of data products and observability tooling
* Lead by example: mentor engineers, contribute to technical standards, and drive team alignment
* Work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable solutions
Tech environment includes
(If you haven’t worked with every tool, that’s totally fine — my client values depth of thinking and engineering craft over buzzword familiarity.)

* A strong background in building and scaling data platforms in cloud-native environments
* Experience designing data models, pipelines, and architectural patterns at scale
* A track record of technical leadership, mentoring, and influencing beyond your own team
* Familiarity with delivery metrics (DORA ideally, but not a must have), observability, and modern DevOps principles
* TDD
* A collaborative mindset, a bias for action, and a desire to work on meaningful products
Benefits include
