AWS-focused Principal Data Engineer to lead the development and implementation of our University Data Hub. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive data engineering innovation in higher education.
What is our University Data Hub?
The University is undertaking a strategic project to improve its Data & Insights capability enabling the right people to get access to information and insight at the right time, with the right quality. We are currently building a brand-new University Data Hub in the AWS cloud, completely replacing an old on-premises solution which will be retired. The production UDH will transform and integrate data from as many sources as required, including live operating data, key data snapshots, and external datasets. It will manage structured and unstructured datasets, perform analysis of incoming data quality to inform data governance work, act as a single source of the truth, and underpin all analytics activity. It will support reports and dashboards via the Data Marketplace, with advanced modelling and machine learning as internal capacity and capability allows.
