About the Role
We are Data, Analysis and AI team advocates and use data engineering best practices to build scalable and re-usable data solutions to help clients use their data to gain insights, drive decisions and deliver business value. Clients don’t engage BJSS to do the straightforward things, they ask us to help on their biggest challenges which means we get to work with a wide range of tools and technologies and there are always new things to learn.
Are you passionate about helping clients modernise their data estate using the Public Cloud?
Are you looking for real ownership on projects and to help shape clients’ data enablement roadmap in the public cloud?
We are looking for a talented Principal Consultant who wants to take the next step in their career and join our Data, Analytics and AI practice.
You’ll be a technical authority at the centre of our engagements, managing technical risk and creating real business value.
You’ll be willing to be hands-on when you need to be and seek to balance innovation and intellectual rigor with realism.
You will work with talented, innovative, and creative Data & AI technologists to design and implement the right data engineering and architecture choices for our clients. You will also lean into your technology knowledge to help define and contribute to our data accelerators.

- Practical experience with leading open-source or commercial tools for orchestration, pipeline management, data transformation, workflows, and integration
- Solid grasp of architectural strategies for large-scale data ingestion and transformation
- Demonstrated skills in data modeling, architecture, security, quality, governance, mining, analysis, and reporting are strongly preferred
- Background in integrating third-party data vendors
