The Role

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Data and AI team within the Technology and Change department at a time of exciting technological and strategic developments in the data landscape.

As a Data Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and developing data products on the Law Society's newly introduced Azure Databricks-based data platform. You will ensure data is efficiently ingested, transformed, governed, and made available for analytics, reporting, and operational use. Drive improvements in performance, scalability, and data platform literacy to support the Law Society's strategic priorities.

You will liaise with key internal and external stakeholders including regulatory partners, lead on data platform issues and work with a great team to help deliver key projects. Working with colleagues from across Technology and Change as well as the wider business, you will also help to ensure that our data discoverability and access is structured and understood for and by the business.

This is an exciting and varied role where your expertise and knowledge will be used to great effect to make a real impact for our staff and members.

What we're looking for

We're looking for a talented data professional with deep expertise in the Microsoft Azure data stack, including Databricks and Data Factory, to help us build and optimise cutting-edge solutions.

You'll bring strong programming skills in Python, PySpark, and SQL, along with proven experience in designing data models, developing pipelines, and implementing modern data architecture.

Your ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights will make you a trusted partner across the business.

If you're passionate about turning data into value and have a flair for visual storytelling using tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Qlik, we'd love to hear from you.
