• They invest heavily in their staff, they have big training budgets, providing it’s relevant to your role and the business, you can study it and certify in it. You’ll be given your own A Cloud Guru subscription as well as 2 days per month set aside for personal development.
• Staff retention here is exceptional. This role is as a result of further investment and expansion.
• They offer hybrid working, there’s a requirement to be in the office on Mondays and Fridays alongside the rest of the team – on Friday they finish early, generally around lunchtime
• Their tech stack includes all of the above plus Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, CloudWatch, Cloudflare, New Relic, Node, TypeScript – plus more. 
• One stage interview process, face to face at their offices on Manchester Science Park. 

What will the role involve?

• Building and maintaining an Azure data platform  
• Designing Azure database solutions – warehouses, data lakes etc.
• Creating Azure data pipelines
• Using SQL/Python to query data and extract data from API’s
• Using Infrastructure as Code technologies (Terraform/CDK) to automate tasks
• Learning and using Microsoft Fabric

This is the next part of their journey, upscaling and having the infrastructure in place to support their growth. Making data accessible is key to that. It’s a great environment, a great team and a fantastic place to work.
