About the role 

This is a fantastic opportunity to build your career in data engineering while working with modern tools and technologies. You'll gain hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and Databricks, building and maintaining data pipelines, and supporting the flow of data through our data platform and into our central data warehouse. You'll also develop your understanding of source control workflows, data modelling, testing, and industry best practices, helping you build a strong foundation for a long-term career in data engineering. 

As a Junior Data Engineer, you'll play a key role in helping us turn data into valuable insight.

Day to day, you'll support the development of data and analytics solutions, automate manual processes, carry out testing, resolve issues, and document technical designs. You'll work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure data is secure, accessible, and delivers meaningful value, while continuing to develop your technical skills and knowledge within a supportive team environment.
