Overview
If you can answer yes to the above, we have an exciting opportunity for you with our expanding team! The data service will go beyond the traditional data warehouse to provide a modern data platform that supports both analytical and operational use cases. Within our Datacore (IOTT) platform, this includes enabling real-time and near real-time data capabilities, integrating data from industrial and operational systems, and delivering trusted, well-engineered data products that drive business performance in critical environments.
Responsibilities
- Design robust, secure, and supportable data solutions for both batch and streaming use cases, ensuring scalability, resilience, and security by design
- Develop, test, and support data pipelines integrating data from industrial, IoT, and enterprise systems using technologies such as Azure Synapse, and event streaming platforms (e.g. Event Hubs, Kafka, MQTT, Quix)
- Work with edge and integration platforms (e.g. HighByte, Ignition, Quix, or similar) to ingest, model, and standardise operational data, aligned to a Unified Namespace (UNS) approach for organising and distributing real-time operational data
- Build and optimise solutions for handling time-series and telemetry data, ensuring performance and usability at scale
- Collaborate with architects, cloud engineers, and platform teams to design and evolve data platform capabilities, including CI/CD, deployment automation, and environment management
- Ensure data quality, observability, and reliability across real-time and batch pipelines
- Where required, contribute to downstream data modelling and analytics to support reporting and insight
- Build automated test frameworks and develop test harnesses for each component, increasing overall test coverage and ensuring a culture of quality and reliability across the platform
- Do you have prior experience of modern data engineering, including data modelling and working with real-time or streaming data?
- Do you have experience of working within an Agile environment, or are keen to work in one?
- Do you enjoy exploring, learning, and challenging yourself, and are you a strong team player?
Qualifications
- Strong experience in data engineering using cloud platforms (e.g. Azure), including tools such as Azure Synapse, Spark, Python, and SQL
- Experience working with real-time or streaming data pipelines (e.g. Event Hubs, Kafka, MQTT, Quix, or similar)
- Experience working with time-series or telemetry data
- Experience integrating data from APIs, industrial systems, or edge platforms (e.g. HighByte, Ignition, or similar)
- Familiarity with Unified Namespace (UNS) principles and MQTT-based architecture is advantageous
- Experience in data modelling (e.g. relational modelling, dimensional modelling, or similar approaches suited to operational systems)
- Experience delivering end-to-end data solutions from ingestion through to production deployment
- Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment
- Experience collaborating with platform and engineering teams to support CI/CD, DevOps, and engineering best practices
- Knowledge of Azure DevOps or similar tools
- Awareness of security, data governance, and working within regulated or operationally critical environments is desirable
