The new platform will manage ingestion of customer data, standardisation, and allow for processing and analytics outputs.

The organisation is now establishing its target data architecture internally. This Engineer will work alongside the architect to define the core data model, and build robust, scalable pipelines and data assets that operationalise that architecture.

This is a hands‑on Data Engineering role with a strong emphasis on implementation quality, performance, and reliability in a greenfield environment.
