About the Role

We work with clients across all aspects of deriving value from data: from technical implementations like modern data warehousing; through to massively scalable analytics and ML solutions. We help our customers embrace a DataOps culture. We are advocates of Agile methodologies and believe in constant delivery of business value.

Our projects manifest both on-premise or in cloud, often driving business intelligence and machine learning capabilities, helping customers achieve their Data as a Service ambitions.

As a technical authority, you will interface directly with customers representing BJSS’ deep technical expertise. You will lead delivery teams by example, providing the insight to enable them to craft great solutions that delight our customers.

You’ll mentor others to ensure they see the wider picture and meet our exacting standards, while championing the deep experience they bring.

You’ll bring wide experience of the data ecosystem, including: numerous data platforms e.g. Databricks; data modelling approaches; public cloud services including AWS and Azure; a deep knowledge and focus on security and privacy and their applications on data platform implementations; and OLTP and analytical warehouses.
