CareRx’s Enterprise Data platforms enable the organisation to harness the power of its data. Core to this is the ability to source, transform and move data from multiple locations and store it in an enterprise-grade data warehousing platform. The Data Engineer is responsible for operating the platform day to day: keeping data flowing, connecting new sources, and building data pipelines that extract raw data from the data sources and transform the data into trusted structures to support analytical and operational reporting, as well as AI and ML data operations. This role is instrumental in advancing the company's data strategy through the design and delivery of modern cloud-based data platforms leveraging Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric technologies. The role requires strong technical leadership, hands-on development expertise, and the ability to work collaboratively with both technical and business stakeholders.
