• A good understanding of databases, data warehouses and data modelling
• Experience integrating data from APIs and third-party systems
• Familiarity with source control tools such as Git
• Strong problem-solving, data quality and communication skills
• Experience with Snowflake, Azure, cloud migrations, DevOps practices or hospitality data would be a bonus, but isn't essential

What’s In It For You?

• Competitive salary of £35,000 - £40,000 (depending on experience)
• Hybrid working - two days in the office at Wrington
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, your birthday off, and the option to buy extra holiday when you need it

• Proper learning and development with clear progression and opportunities to grow your career
• Annual celebrations including our Bar Raiser Ball, plus length of service recognition that genuinely rewards loyalty
• Wellbeing support including a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme and partnership with The Burnt Chef Project
