• Develop curated data models in a medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture using Delta Lake, ensuring data quality, lineage, and reusability across analytics and AI use cases.

• Develop and optimise SQL and PySpark transformations for high-volume datasets, with strong attention to performance, cost, and reliability.

• Operationalise pipelines through Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions, embedding automated testing, deployment, and observability into the data delivery lifecycle.

• Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting across critical data products, working with platform engineering on lineage and cataloguing (e.g., Microsoft Purview, Unity Catalog).

• Collaborate with data architects to align pipelines with the enterprise data model and governance standards, including PII handling, retention, and access controls relevant to insurance regulation.

• Work closely with analytics, actuarial, and data science teams to translate business requirements into robust data products and self-service datasets.

• Participate in code reviews, design sessions, and Agile ceremonies, contributing to engineering standards and continuous improvement of the data platform.

• Strong experience with Microsoft Azure data services: Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and Azure SQL.

• Hands-on experience with Databricks and Apache Spark (PySpark), including Delta Lake and the medallion architecture.
• Advanced SQL skills and solid Python development for data engineering workloads.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Bicep), and Git-based workflows.

• Understanding of data modelling (dimensional, Data Vault, or lakehouse patterns) and data governance concepts including data quality, lineage, and security.
