- Implement data quality checks covering completeness, accuracy, timeliness, consistency, duplicates and reconciliation with source systems.

- Ensure dashboards use governed, reliable and well-documented data.

- Establish data ownership, common definitions, lineage, access policies and governance standards with business functions.

- Build monitoring and reporting to identify pipeline failures and data quality issues.

- Integrate governed Databricks data with Power BI and other approved analytical tools.

- Work with Finance, Delivery, Operations, HR and PMO to translate requirements into sustainable data solutions.

- Document data pipelines, controls, dependencies and operating procedures.

- Coordinate external partners where specialist support is required.

### Qualifications:

- Significant experience as a Data Engineer, including ownership of production data pipelines.

- Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, Python, SQL and PySpark.

- Experience integrating data from APIs, business applications, databases and files.

- Experience with Unity Catalog, access management, data governance and data quality controls.

- Experience administering Databricks workspaces, compute resources and SQL Warehouses.

- Experience with Azure data services, Power BI, Git and CI/CD practices.

- Understanding of environment management, monitoring, troubleshooting and cost control.

- Ability to work directly with non-technical stakeholders and explain data issues clearly.

- Strong documentation, prioritisation and problem-solving skills.

### Certifications (Preferred)

- Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional or Databricks Certified Platform Administrator (if available).

**Live in Stack Infrastructure Emea’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
