Lead Data Engineer

I'm currently recruiting for a Lead Data Engineer based in Dublin. This is an initial 6-month contract, focusing on hybrid working. Strong day rate available.

Our client is hiring a Data Engineering Lead to own the technical strategy and delivery of its combined data and analytics engineering function.

About the Role:

• Set the technical strategy and architecture across ingestion, transformation and semantic layers
• Own the platform's reliability, scalability and cost, and prioritise investment against business demand and risk

• Work with BI & Reporting and Data Governance to keep the pipeline well-governed from raw data through to certified reporting datasets

Requirements:

• Previous experience as a Senior or Lead Data Engineer with strong hands-on data modelling expertise
• Proficiency with SQL and Python skills
