Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate production-grade software and data solutions end-to-end, from problem definition and architecture through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Design and implement reliable, scalable, secure, and well-governed data pipelines and data products using AWS and Snowflake across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources.
- Model, curate, and optimise Snowflake datasets, schemas, and data structures in line with enterprise platform standards, ensuring performance, quality, consistency, and usability for downstream consumers.
- Apply strong software engineering practices, including clean code, modular design, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, secure development, and maintainable architecture.
- Partner with business and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into robust data solutions, prioritise delivery, and identify opportunities to enable advanced analytics and AI use cases.
- Use AI-assisted engineering as a standard part of daily development work to accelerate coding, refactoring, documentation, testing, debugging, and solution exploration while maintaining strong engineering judgement and quality standards.
- Build cloud-native integrations and automation on AWS, making effective use of services such as compute, storage, networking, security, orchestration, event-driven architectures, and managed AI services where appropriate.
- Own deployment, release, and production operations, including troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, performance tuning, incident resolution, peer code reviews, pair programming, and reuse of proven engineering patterns.
