About The Position

The Data Engineer will play a crucial role in building, maintaining, and enhancing business intelligence solutions, focusing on data modeling, report building, and data analysis within cloud-based platforms, mainly Microsoft Azure. This role involves designing and optimizing data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, managing data lakes and data warehouses using Microsoft Azure Synapse, and creating meaningful reports and dashboards within Tableau. The Data Engineer will be responsible for designing, coding, and supporting functional intra-departmental data procedures and process flows, with additional focus on cross-departmental data integration procedures through ETL process builds. The Data Engineer will also be responsible for performing ad hoc SQL queries to extract data for analysis within the requesting department, ensuring the integrity and accessibility of critical business data to support decision-making. This role is not an analyst role and is majority focused on the technical "to-do" of making data available for the business in a form or fashion that the data can be analyzed. The Data Engineer needs to be comfortable building all aspects of the data pipeline from source through to storage, then presentation, rather than focusing on analysis of the impact of what the data means to the business.
