Requirements of the role
TPR’s Data Services team is growing in size and capability. It includes several sub-teams comprising over 27 data specialists in domains across the full spectrum of data management activity.
The team has accountability for the data estate and is responsible for defining, developing and implementing the organisation’s approach to data acquisition, data management, analysis, and governance of data and information assets.
The team also holds the vision for driving TPR towards becoming more data informed, by facilitating effective use and innovative exploitation of high-quality data and promoting data as a strategic business asset. We’re data-informed, not data-driven: we work with engineers, product managers, and other disciplines to understand how data can best support the needs of the organisation.
We are on a fast-paced journey and in recent years TPR has been through significant technological and business change, including fully migrating to Microsoft Azure. As part of this, new systems including an enterprise-scale Azure data platform and engineering capability, have been established.
This is an exciting time to join our growing team and play a key role in our continuing journey of data-led design transformation, making data the key enabler in our mission to put the saver at the heart of everything we do.
The role
As an organisation, we are shifting towards more innovative, data-driven regulation. That means increasingly we rely on drawing a compelling picture from the data we hold to help guide our decisions.
We have laid down the foundations of a modern data architecture within the Microsoft Cloud (Azure) and need a skilled data engineer to support our on-going innovation and development. Joining at this exciting stage in our growth, you’ll play a vital part in shaping the future of the platform and the data engineering competency at TPR.
The platform uses a myriad of data storage and transformation technologies including Azure SQL, Synapse, Datalake, CosmosDB, Azure Data Factory, Azure Functions, Databricks and PowerBI.
Embracing agile methodologies, automated processes and DevOps practices, we are hoping to continue to build modern data services and a mature data engineering team that delivers for both the organisation and savers for years to come.
We will help to grow and develop your skills in order for you to become an expert on the Azure data platform. We will support your professional development by giving you the tools and exposure required to upskill at pace, set against a very varied backdrop of green-field and business-as-usual/lights-on data engineering and software development opportunities.
Responsibilities
You will:
- work with business users and product owners to translate user stories into technical delivery
- be a hands-on data engineer across the suite of Azure services compiling TPR’s data platform
- build scalable and cost-efficient solutions using Azure data technologies, adhering to best practices and agile processes to the highest possible standards
- stay up to date on evolving technologies, ensure TPR’s data platform and the data engineering team remain current
- ensure that the platform adheres to TPR’s data governance and compliance policies
- support operational processes and end users, implementing monitoring and alerting practices to ensure service reliability
