• Creating and optimising data architectures to ensure efficient data storage, processing, and retrieval
• Supporting backend integrations (Python, Django) to ensure clean interfacing between data systems and applications
• Collaborating with stakeholders across Data Science, Product, Ops, and Commercial to shape data models that meet the needs of a growing business
• Supporting CI/CD, data versioning, and monitoring to ensure the reliability and accuracy of production pipelines
• Driving improvements in data access, documentation, and visualisation across the organisation

What They’re Looking For

• Proven experience designing and maintaining data pipelines in production environments
• Strong Python and SQL skills; familiarity with frameworks like Airflow, Spark, or similar
• Solid understanding of data modelling, architecture, and warehousing best practices
• Comfort working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and infrastructure tools (e.g. Terraform, SageMaker)
• Willingness to gain intermediate-level backend development skills (especially with Python/Django)
• Bonus: experience with data lakes, CI/CD, and data quality/versioning tools
