Data Engineer

You will build and look after the pipelines that move data from the client's operational systems into the warehouse, and the data models that everything downstream depends on. Ingestion, processing and modelling, plus the documentation that goes with them. You will also do the analyst work that keeps the numbers honest. What you will do • Profile new sources before you build: databases, APIs, files, open data, structured and unstructured. • Build, schedule and monitor ingestion and processing pipelines in the tools the client already uses, and extend them where it makes sense. • Design and build the warehouse models (star schemas, conformed dimensions) that dashboards and machine-learning use cases sit on. • Put data-quality checks and lineage capture into every pipeline, and keep the conceptual, logical and physical model documentation current. • Work with business owners to reconcile figures and define KPIs, and help write the monthly progress report.
