    AWS cloud skills would be a massive benefit as well.

Technical Stack:

  • Strong proficiency in SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) – candidates should demonstrate extensive experience in developing, optimising, and maintaining SSIS packages in a production environment.

  • Proven ability to perform 24/7 on-call support and handle production support issues effectively and independently.

  • Ability to balance operational responsibilities with new development – we’re looking for someone who is not only strong in maintaining and supporting existing systems but also has the capability to drive and implement new projects independently.

  • Self-starter with the confidence to take ownership of deliverables, proactively identify issues, and provide solutions without needing constant direction.

  • Strong SQL and data modelling skills (dimensional and normalized)
  • Proficient in Python or Scala
  • Strong SSIS knowledge
  • Experience with Spark (PySpark preferred)
  • Experience with cloud platforms, ideally AWS (e.g., S3, Glue, Athena, EMR)
  • Knowledge of data warehouse and data lake architectures
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and containerization (e.g., Docker, GitLab CI)

Production Support Requirements:

This role includes participation in a rotational production support schedule.

The successful candidate must be willing and able to:

  • Be on call every third week as part of a structured support roster.

  • Respond to after-hours callouts, including late-night or early-morning alerts.

  • Support and troubleshoot issues in the nightly batch process to ensure successful completion.

  • Work collaboratively with operations and infrastructure teams to resolve time-sensitive issues under pressure.

  • Maintain logs, escalate critical incidents, and ensure accurate handovers.

  • This support responsibility is critical to ensure the availability and continuity of data services required by business users and systems across the enterprise.
