- Develop Python and SQL workflows to ingest, transform and validate large-scale datasets.
- Manage and optimise data within our AWS data lake environment, including S3, Glue and Athena.
- Improve data quality, monitoring and reliability across critical data pipelines.
- Analyse complex datasets to uncover patterns, anomalies and actionable insights.
- Prepare high-quality datasets that support analytics, machine learning and fraud intelligence initiatives.
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers and data specialists to deliver scalable, trusted data solutions.
- What you'll bring to the role
- Strong Python fundamentals, including functions, data structures, file handling and common data libraries.
- Hands-on experience with pandas or similar tools for cleaning, transforming and analysing data
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with large, complex datasets
- Experience building or supporting data engineering workflows and ETL/ELT processes
- Strong understanding of data quality, validation and troubleshooting
- Ability to work with sensitive customer, financial or operational datasets
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong documentation and communication skills
- Nice to Have
- AWS and cloud-based data platforms, including data lakes and large-scale analytical datasets
- Fraud, risk, fintech, financial services or other data-intensive Saa S environments
- Graph databases, anomaly detection or pattern-based analytics
- Machine learning and AI data workflows
- Modern engineering practices such as CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code and observability
Why join Fortiro?
