- How can we better engage and grow our supporter base?
- How can we make our existing processes better for our staff and volunteers?
- How can we use data and technology to improve our frontline services?

In this role you will:
Design, write and iterate maintainable solutions from prototype to production with a solid understanding of clean development practices.
Work with business stakeholders and non-technical people to produce robust solutions whilst tempering expectations.
Leverage your knowledge to help other members of the Hub on their professional journeys, whilst staying up to date on emerging technologies that could benefit the entire society.
You will have:
Experience as a data engineer, or a similar role, creating ETL/ELT pipelines, data automation and integration.
Proficiency in SQL and Python and experience with designing and deploying cloud infrastructure, with Azure preferably.
Knowledge of cloud development best practices including CI/CD and IaC.
Knowledge of data warehousing concepts including architectures, infrastructure components, ETL/ELT, and reporting/analytics tools.
A passion for data and technology and the ability to critically evaluate different solutions to problems.
Initiative and think creatively to identify solutions to issues, and the tenacity to make those ideas happen.
Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
Experience in mentoring and coaching peers and junior colleagues.
Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with.
