You’ll develop the data ingestion and transformation pipelines on a Snowflake platform, optimising the data warehousing for performance and scalability.

You’ll participate in the definition and application of the policies for Data Quality, Management, and Security, tailoring Lloyds Banking Group’s established Data Governance standards to the dynamic Embedded Finance environment.

You’ll apply your technical skills and expand your knowledge on Data Engineering with exposure to complex topics, with plenty of opportunity to experiment and enhance your engineering skills.
