You’re dedicated to building and operating various data products related to the systems and applications within EQL’s non-regulated platforms. Working across various portfolios, you will manage key data sources where a typical day involves:
Monitoring the health of existing data flows and processes.
Undertaking ongoing maintenance and required enhancements of data systems.
Utilising appropriate tooling to model, visualise and ingest data into relevant products.
Working efficiently through the backlog of new data topics and solutions requested by product owners to aid in their operational optimisation.
