We're looking for one senior engineer to set up a data warehouse from scratch and take it through to the first working reporting layer, then extend that same platform to support AI.

This is deliberately a single, broad role rather than a team. The first phase is foundational engineering: ingestion, modelling, data quality, and reporting people can trust. The second phase opens the platform up to AI, giving models governed access to the data, and building assistant and retrieval capabilities on top.

You'll be the person who makes the early architecture decisions that determine whether phase two needs a rebuild or just an extension.

Phase one — warehouse foundation and reporting

Phase two — AI enablement

• Substantial experience designing and delivering data warehouses end to end, across multiple source systems
• Experience designing and implementing modern data platforms on AWS (Redshift, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, S3, QuickSight or equivalent services)
• Strong ingestion and orchestration engineering: batch and incremental pipelines, automated quality gates, monitoring
• Demonstrable data quality and hygiene work: you've cleaned up messy source data and made it trustworthy, not just moved it
• Semantic layer and dimensional modelling experience
• BI delivery, ideally Power BI: dashboards, drill-downs, operational KPI reporting
• Data governance fundamentals: lineage, access control, PII handling
• Practical familiarity with AI data enablement: RAG, embeddings, vector databases, or preparing data for model access
• Comfort working directly with business stakeholders, translating vague asks into a sequenced technical plan
• Experience migrating data workloads from Azure or other cloud platforms to AWS is a plus.
• Feature engineering or ML enablement for forecasting, risk, or inventory planning use cases is a plus.
• Natural-language analytics over a governed semantic model is a plus.
• Internal AI assistant, agent, or workflow automation delivery is a plus.
• Domain exposure to supply chain, logistics, distribution, or food and agriculture is a plus.
