SENIOR DATA ENGINEER
Enterprise Systems | Data & Intelligence Platform

ABOUT THE ROLE
You design and build data platform end-to-end. Given a business problem, you own the
solution architecture, build the pipelines, model the data, and deliver the serving layer —
independently, to production quality. You are equally comfortable at a whiteboard and in a
notebook. You don’t wait for a detailed brief; you write one.

This is a hands-on engineering role working within a small data team. You will own the data platform from ingestion through to the intelligence layer — the structured, governed, AI-ready data products that power reporting, self-serve analytics, and operational decision-making.
You operate across a hybrid cloud setting: migrating existing MSSQL Server data warehouse to Microsoft Fabric, integrating new data sources from REST API, MySQL, PostgreSQL (AWS), ensuing data has been setup for semantic models build and intelligence outputs in Power BI. You are a technical authority on data solution design in this space.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES




Area What You Own Solution Design & Architecture
- Translate ambiguous business problems into clearly scoped data engineering solutions — source mappings, transformation logic, medallion layer design, serving layer specification, and data lineage documentation.
- Produce solution design artefacts independently: architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, modelling approach, feasibility and security assessment. No requirement for a detailed brief.
- Assess build-vs-buy and platform capability trade-offs across the Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and AWS stack.
- Challenge requirements when the data approach is wrong.
- Propose alternatives before committing to implementation.
- Define and enforce data engineering standards: naming conventions, medallion layer contracts, pipeline testing requirements, and documentation expectations across the platform.
- Assess cost of proposed data solutions – commercial vs capacity usage limi
