This orchestration layer produces critical process, events, and domain data that forms the backbone for reporting, analytics, insight and continuous improvement.

As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that this data is transformed into trusted, well modeled, and actionable data products. You will act as the technical lead for the Data & Insight team, working closely with orchestration, server side, architecture, and product teams to ensure tight alignment between process execution and insight generation.

The role combines hands on data engineering, technical leadership, and operational responsibility, with a clear mandate to influence architecture, standards, and ways of working across teams. This role is well suited for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, complex process orchestration, and business critical decision support.

• Experience with modern transformation and analytics engineering practices and tooling (e.g. dbt), with a focus on testability, versioning, and long term maintainability of data models
• Experience working with data originating from orchestration platforms, integration layers, and event driven architectures
• Proven ability to take technical ownership across teams, guiding architectural and implementation decisions beyond a single delivery team
• Experience with cloud based data platforms and modern data tooling, such as AWS, Snowflake, and Hadoop
• Experience working with Git based development workflows (e.g. GitHub), including code reviews, pull requests, and CI/CD as part of production data solutions
