• Collaborate with data engineers to enrich product design and integrate data for predictive models.
• Create and maintain dashboards and reporting solutions using PowerBI to enable data-driven decision-making.
• Evaluate and recommend improvements to data flows, influencing platform architects and engineers.
• Implement data validation, monitoring, and error-handling processes to ensure data quality and accuracy.

• Maintain high-quality documentation including data dictionaries and lineage artefacts.

   

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in data analytics, data engineering, or a closely related software engineering discipline.

• Solid understanding of data governance, data quality principles, and security best practices.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication skills – able to present findings and data insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
