• Work closely with stakeholders ranging from engineering teams through to senior business leaders and executives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including data analysts, security specialists and governance teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Contribute to architecture decisions and help shape best practices across large-scale cloud data projects.

• Hands-on AWS experience, including services such as S3, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation and Redshift.
• Experience with technologies such as Databricks, Delta Lake, Apache Flink or similar.

Why join?
