• Collaborate with source system teams to deliver secure and reliable data integrations
• Optimise platform performance, scalability, and cloud cost efficiency
• Define and enforce data engineering standards, CI/CD practices, and operational guidelines
• Troubleshoot complex platform issues and drive continuous improvements
