• Mentor junior team members and support the development of reusable assets and frameworks.
• Represent Nucleo with professionalism, technical authority, and a solution-oriented mindset.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in data engineering or analytics delivery, ideally within a consulting or client-facing environment.
• Strong proficiency in the Microsoft data ecosystem (Azure Data Factory, Synapse, SQL, Data Lake).
• Solid understanding of data modelling, ETL/ELT processes, and modern data architecture principles.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business perspectives.
