Developer / Data Engineer - Business Intelligence Systems
While you’ll have heard our name, there’s a lot you probably don’t know about NEXT. Like how we create most of our systems ourselves – whether it’s a website, mobile app or application. What’s more, we’re growing. Fast. And it’s the kind of growth and investment that is exciting for everyone in our business. This is an excellent opportunity to join a rapidly expanding Business Intelligence Systems team working with a great mix of experience both inside Next and across the industry. BIS is transforming from a traditional SQL team to a modern hybrid cloud platform bringing together the best data, analytical and reporting tools to deliver new and enhance existing products and support our users. About the team
Business Intelligence works with Finance, Product, Warehouse, Marketing, the Brand teams, almost everyone to design and build the data solutions that NEXT relies on to measure, report and analyse the performance of the business and its operations. We are SQL at heart but embracing new tech to modernise the platform and really are leading the charge toward platform modernisation. This position is within the BIS Product Workstream, where our primary responsibility is to complete projects to support Retail and Product Operations. Our focus lies in technologies such as Azure, Databricks, Power BI, and ADF. We actively explore and adopt new technologies to innovate and enhance our processes. We are a growing team of 80+ developers, analysts and product managers responsible for providing the business with data solutions. About the role
In this role you will be working in a product team developing solutions to help fulfil the business’ needs, which can include providing new data for them to access that we obtain from a variety of sources or enhancing the way we work to deliver better results. BIS supports over 70 BI products today and we are always building more. We work with the business / product owners to define the product development roadmap eventually decommissioning old solutions and replacing them with newer more performant and scalable solutions that will meet the growing needs of the business for years to come. While our legacy platform is SQL which will play a huge part in our product base for years to come, we are also rapidly expanding our modern data platform so we are seeking developers who have experience in tools such as DataBricks (Spark), Data Factory, Data Lake, PowerBI and Synapse. We are looking for people who want to learn new skills, get hands-on experience with the latest technologies and become very knowledgeable of BIS systems. Successful candidates will join a great team with a real mix of experience, knowledge and skills. There are great opportunities to learn and a real potential to advance your career. Criteria
