  • Deliver key projects such as the redesign of reporting platforms and optimisation of data flows, cost models, and transformation processes
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of data architecture, processes, and workflows
  • Monitor platform performance and proactively address issues to ensure high availability and reliability

  • Strong proficiency in DBT, Snowflake, S3, Looker, SQL, Python, and Bash
  • Proven experience in designing and maintaining data architectures and pipelines in cloud environments
  • Deep understanding of modern data engineering tools and methodologies
  • Experience leading platform migrations and delivering end-to-end technical solutions
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and coach technical teams
  • Desirable: Experience in SaaS, gaming, or lottery industries; exposure to analytics, AI, or machine learning workflows
What's on Offer
  • A strategic leadership role with high visibility and impact across internal and client-facing platforms
  • A hybrid working model that supports flexibility and work-life balance, with core collaboration hours from 10am to 2pm
  • A collaborative team environment with strong ties between data engineering, analytics, and product groups
  • Access to best-in-class tooling and ongoing investment in platform innovation
  • Competitive salary package and long-term career development opportunities
