We are looking for a data engineer experienced in DevOps-based pipeline delivery, who can not only develop the pipeline but also establish the foundational framework for reusable data ingestion processes. The ideal candidate is proactive, a self-starter, and demonstrates a strong can-do attitude.

While not essential, experience with Health Data systems would be highly advantageous.

• Ingestion Framework Delivery: Responsible for building reusable metadata driven data pipelines within a framework to handle batch and near-real-time data feeds.
• Data Pipeline Development: Develop end-to-end data pipelines, including data load patterns, error handling, automation, and hardware optimisation.
• Requirements Formulation: Collaborate with Business Analysts, Architects, SMEs, and business teams to define requirements and implement solutions using modern EDW cloud tools and best practices.
• Detailed Solution Design: Work with architects and analysts to create detailed solution designs for data pipelines, ensuring adherence to policies, rules, and standards.
• Promote DevOps best practices for iterative solution delivery including CI/CD, version control, monitoring and alerting, automated testing and IaC.
• Data Modelling and Warehousing: Build and optimise pipelines to populate data stores such as DWH, Lakehouse, and other repositories, following industry and clinical standards like openEHR, FHIR and OMOP.
• Data Quality & Governance: Apply data quality checks, validation rules, and governance policies to maintain the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of clinical data, and address any data discrepancies.
• Data Integration: Integrate various clinical datasets, ensuring proper mapping, standardisation, and harmonisation across systems and terminologies (e.g., SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD-10).
• Performance Optimisation: Monitor and enhance the performance of data pipelines, warehouses, and queries for efficient data processing.
• Operational Controls: Apply operational procedures, security practices, and production policies to ensure high-quality service delivery.
• Collaboration: Work with clinical stakeholders, data scientists, analysts, and other professionals to define data requirements and deliver technical solutions. Lead showcase sessions after each delivery.
• Documentation: Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for data architectures, pipelines, models, metadata, and processes.
• Troubleshooting & Support: Provide technical support and resolve issues related to data pipelines and data quality.
• Innovation & Best Practices: Stay updated on new data engineering technologies and best practices, especially in healthcare, and recommend adoption as needed.
• Lead proof of concepts, pilots, and develop data pipeline using agile and iterative methods.

• Certifications such as DP 203 and AZ 900 or similar certification/experience.

• Experience in working with healthcare data to build a healthcare data store would be a significant plus. Which should include standards and interoperability protocols (e.g., openEHR, FHIR, HL7, DICOM, CDA).
• Experience in converting one healthcare data to develop an ODS or DWH.
• Experience in integrating data analytical outcomes and key information into clinical workflows.

• Knowledge of streaming data architectures and technologies (e.g., Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, Kinesis).
• Knowledge of handing Genome datasets (FASTQ, VCF etc.) and document formats (IHE).
• General experience working with Gen AI including LLM generated clinical data/summaries

• Extensive background as a data engineer, specialising in data warehouse environments and building various types of data pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement data integration and conversion pipelines using ETL/ELT tools, accelerators, and frameworks such as Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, Snowflake (Cloud), SSIS, or custom scripts.
• Skilled in developing reusable ETL frameworks for data processing.
• Proficient in at least one programming language commonly used for data manipulation and scripting, including Python, PySpark, Java, or Scala.
• Strong understanding and hands-on experience with DevOps practices and tools, especially Azure DevOps for CI/CD, Git for version control, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Advanced SQL skills and experience working with relational databases like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL.
• Experience implementing solutions on cloud-based data platforms such as Azure, Snowflake, Google Cloud, and related accelerators.
• Experience with developing and deploying containerised microservices architectures.
• Understanding of data modelling techniques, including star schema, snowflake schema, and third normal form (3NF).
• Proven track record with DevOps methodologies in data engineering, including CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code.
• Knowledge of data governance, data quality, and data security in regulated environments.
• Experience mapping data from unstructured, semi-structured, and proprietary structured formats within clinical data stores.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and documentation abilities, enabling effective collaboration between clinical and technical teams.
• Experience working in Agile development settings.
• Outstanding analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team.

• Collaborative working environment – we stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients and our peers through good times and challenges
