Job description

Contract Cloud Data Platform Specialist

6-Month Contract | SC Clearance (Current, Lapsed or Eligible)

Hybrid working (2 days p/week onsite near Cardiff for the first month then 1 day onsite p/month thereafter)

  • Microsoft Fabric
  • Azure Data Factory
  • Azure Data Lake
  • Azure SQL
  • Power BI
  • Administration and operational support of Azure data platforms

You'll also ideally have experience with:

  • Azure DevOps and controlled deployment environments
  • Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
  • Integration platforms, ideally Salesforce MuleSoft

Ideally you'll have:

  • Current SC Clearance, recently lapsed SC, or be eligible and willing to undergo SC/MV clearance
  • Experience working within secure or highly regulated environments
  • Strong troubleshooting and platform support skills

Contract Length: 6 months initially, with strong potential for extension
