  • Automate and monitor data workflows using tools such as Databricks Workflows, Delta Live Tables and Azure Monitor.
  • Ensure data quality, integrity and governance through effective controls, security standards and regulatory compliance.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across Pricing, Underwriting, Data Science and Technology to deliver data-driven business solutions.
  • Implement data security and governance frameworks, including access controls, data lineage and sensitive data protection.
  • Drive continuous improvement by adopting new technologies and best practices across the Azure and Databricks ecosystem.

What you'll need:


  • Strong experience building data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Databricks and Azure Data Lake.
  • Advanced SQL and Python (PySpark) skills for data transformation, automation and optimisation.
  • Hands-on experience with Delta Lake, Spark, Databricks Workflows and Structured Streaming.
  • Knowledge of data warehousing, lakehouse architectures and dimensional modelling.
  • Experience delivering scalable, high-quality data solutions to support analytics, reporting and machine learning.
  • Familiarity with real-time data processing, APIs and streaming technologies such as Kafka or Azure Event Hubs.
  • Experience with CI/CD, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Strong understanding of data governance, security and access controls, including Unity Catalog and Purview.
  • Experience monitoring, optimising and troubleshooting cloud-based data platforms.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.
