• Apply CI/CD practices using the existing framework to automate and streamline deployments and configuration changes.
• Implement controls using the observability framework, ensuring service continuity and accuracy.
• Create, maintain and improve documentation and operational procedures for the data integrations under your ownership.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (application owners, architects, business analysts, data consumers) to design integration patterns and improve governance around data flows.
• Contribute to the standardisation and industrialisation of integration patterns, promoting convergence, normalisation and reusability across projects.
• Stay current with advancements in data engineering, ETL/ESB technologies and cloud‑based integration platforms to support continuous improvement of our DataOps capabilities.

Skills and Experience

• At least 5 years of proven hands‑on experience in data engineering and data integration, with a strong focus on ETL/ELT pipelines and ESB‑style integrations.

• Strong ETL / data modelling skills, including handling of large datasets, complex transformations and integration of heterogeneous data sources.

• Experience with CI/CD practices and tools in a hybrid environment (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) applied to data integration components.

• Experience with data quality, metadata management and data lineage tools or frameworks is an asset.
