Role description
(AI) Lead Data Engineer
Fix complex data problems that actually matter
We’re hiring a (AI) Lead Data Engineer to join a growing enterprise data capability in a hands‑on technical leadership role — no line management.

⚙️ What you’ll do
• Design and build enterprise‑scale data pipelines and services
• Own work end‑to‑end (problem → build → production)
• Work with stakeholders to turn messy realities into usable data solutions
• Improve data integration, quality, and governance
• Solve complex issues across imperfect and legacy environments
✅ What you’ll bring
• Strong experience as a Senior / Lead Data Engineer and previous AI experience
• Expertise in Python, Spark, and production data pipelines
• Deep understanding of data lifecycle & integration
• Experience with data modelling, governance, and quality
• A pragmatic, hands‑on mindset with strong ownership
👉 If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and solving complex data challenges — apply now.
