Role Summary:
We are seeking a passionate and detail-oriented Data Engineer to join our Digital Tech & Data team. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the data pipelines that support our digital ecosystem — from ingesting raw data across multiple digital touchpoints to delivering clean, robust data that business teams can trust and act on. You will bring engineering rigour to data — treating pipelines, models, and infrastructure as production-grade software — while staying closely connected to the digital business context your work enables.Responsibilities:
style="margin-top:0.0px;margin-bottom:0.0px- -Design, build, and maintain production-grade data pipelines in Airflow that ingest data from digital touchpoints into Snowflake.
- Develop modular, tested, and well-documented dbt models that transform raw data into reliable, business-ready datasets — owning the full lifecycle from source definition to exposure.
- Provision and manage cloud data infrastructure (Snowflake objects, Airflow environments, supporting GCP resources) through Terraform, with everything version-controlled and peer-reviewed.
- Implement and uphold data quality, observability, and testing standards across pipelines
- Tune Snowflake performance and manage warehouse cost — clustering, query profiling, resource monitors and treat cost as a first-class engineering concern.
- Implement pipelines to platform standards — branching strategy, CI/CD for dbt and Airflow, code review norms, documentation, naming conventions
Required Qualifications:
Education:

- Practical experience using Terraform to provision and manage cloud data infrastructure in a repeatable, version-controlled manner.
- Proficiency in Python for writing data pipelines, custom operators, and utility tooling.
- Strong SQL skills with the ability to write and optimise complex queries across large datasets.
