Job Level
About the role
- Owning end‑to‑end pipelines across ingest → transform → load → application integration, with hands‑on orchestration and production support.
- Taking ownership of key platform integrations, including the existing Zendesk API integration, ensuring data flows reliably between systems and stepping in confidently when issues arise.
- Querying and operating the cloud data platform confidently (workload sizing, cost/concurrency trade‑offs, and recovery/rollback using platform features).
- Working closely with PMO and stakeholders to prioritise, communicate clearly, and finish work, especially when priorities change.
- Contributing to Agile delivery (two‑week sprints, ticketing, demos/retros) and raising the bar on delivery discipline and transparency.
- Providing day‑to‑day technical leadership of a workstream and coaching more junior engineers when needed.
Requirements
- Strong, hands‑on ETL/ELT experience using Matillion, including building and orchestrating production‑grade pipelines end‑to‑end (ingestion, transformation, loading, and monitoring).
- Practical experience working with Snowflake as a cloud data platform, with the ability to confidently query data, understand warehouse sizing and cost/performance trade‑offs, and use platform features to support reliability and recovery.
- Very strong SQL skills, with the ability to reason through complex data logic, performance considerations, and edge cases.
- Experience working in enterprise environments, where governance, change control, and reliability matter; exposure to regulated industries (such as financial services) is advantageous.
- A consulting mindset: you communicate proactively, manage expectations well, prioritise effectively, and are comfortable pushing back constructively when required.
- Experience integrating data platforms with operational or downstream systems using APIs (nice to have).
