• Support deployment and environment management, including Infrastructure as Code where applicable.
• Troubleshoot and resolve data quality, performance, and pipeline issues.
• Work directly with client stakeholders to gather requirements and demonstrate progress.
• Support Senior Consultants and Managers on estimation, planning, and risk identification.

• Strong hands-on experience with the Microsoft Azure data stack (e.g. Data Factory, Synapse, Azure SQL, Storage, Functions).
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one general-purpose language (Python, C#, or similar).
• Solid understanding of ETL/ELT patterns, data modelling, and data migration methodologies.
• Experience with source control (Git) and CI/CD workflows.
• Ability to work in client-facing delivery environments and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.

Desirable / Nice to Have

• Experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake.
• Cloud development experience, particularly Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM).
• Exposure to data orchestration tools, APIs, and event-driven integration.
• Financial services, private equity, or alternative assets domain experience.
• Relevant certifications (e.g. Azure Data Engineer Associate, Azure Fundamentals).
