ENVIRONMENT:
For over a century, our client has been helping generous individuals and the causes they care about make a lasting impact. Today, they support over 30,000 donors in giving more than 110 million annually to over 12,000 charities, community initiatives, and individuals in need. Their expert services empower these partners, equipping them to grow, thrive, and create meaningful change in the world. They are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Data Engineer to join a growing Data and Insights team. The Data Engineer will support stakeholders, including data analysts, their technology teams, and software developers, to ensure optimal and consistent data delivery. They must be self-directed and comfortable supporting the data needs of multiple teams, systems and products. The right candidate will be excited by the prospect of growing and optimizing the Groups existing data architecture and integrating external datasets to support their next generation of products and data initiatives.
DUTIES:
  • Design and develop efficient and scalable data pipelines to extract, transform, and load data.
  • Build and maintain data warehouses and data lakes to store and manage large datasets.
  • Work with others to establish, maintain, and optimise data governance across the organisation.
  • Implement data quality checks and monitoring tools to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
  • Manage the operational pipelines, dealing with issues that arise and addressing their root causes
  • Automate manual data processing tasks using scripting languages and tools.
  • Document data pipelines and processes for maintainability and knowledge sharing.
  • Stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in data engineering.
  • Collaborate with data analysts to understand their data needs and design solutions that meet their requirements (BA skills)
  • Work with others to create a common understanding and consistency of how data is labelled and how it is used.
  • Participate in the strategic choice of platforms and tools as they grow out their data capabilities.
REQUIREMENTS:
  • Proven skills in building, optimising, and managing data integrations.
  • Experience of, and facility with, the elements of data governance quality, security, and metadata.
  • Can understand business needs and objectives, rather than simply engaging with data without any real understanding of what it means.
  • Experience in enhancing data quality and reliability.
  • Experience engaging with end users, starting with an articulation of business need then determining what data and what presentation is required to meet those needs.
  • A tertiary qualification in Computer Science or equivalent.
  • SQL DBA and design skills
  • Experience in choosing and implementing a tech stack.
  • Experience of integrating systems with Salesforce.
  • A working understanding of GDPR.
  • Experience with Microsoft technologies SQL Server, Azure, Azure Data Factory, Power BI, Power Automate, Application Insights
  • Scripting expertise to automate routine processes.
  • Experience of formal project management.
ATTRIBUTES:
  • You must have strong technical aptitude with proven experience in building out and integrating data platforms.
  • You should be eager to learn and capable of doing so under your own steam. The technical world moves rapidly, and although the company does not aspire to be at the bleeding edge, it very much wants to be making use of new technology and methodologies.
  • You will need strong analytical skills and attention to detail. Both the systems you will be building and the data you will be supporting need high levels of accuracy and quality at a very fine-grained level.
  • You must enjoy working as part of a team whilst also recognising individual responsibility to contribute to the performance and success of the Data and Insights team. There should be an understanding of the needs of others and a willingness to help and adopt a flexible approach to working patterns.
  • You should be a motivated self-starter, able to work independently, prioritising tasks. You should be comfortable working under pressure to challenging deadlines, able to adapt to rapidly changing situations and workloads, be well organised and able to multi-task.
  • You should be willing to offer your perspective and are able to challenge constructively where required.
  • You can clearly understand and articulate the risks in a situation and are able to take a balanced view in relation to those risks.
