Long-term contract opportunity € 340 per day Fully remote, anywhere in Ireland, with the opportunity to meet in person in Cork from time to time Looking for a technically strong Data Analyst / Data Engineer to join a growing technology team on a long-term contract basis.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who sits comfortably between data analytics, data engineering and AI, and who is passionate about using data to understand, measure and improve what a technical team is building.

You’ll work closely with engineering and data science teams to help answer important questions around what data is available, how it should be structured and analysed, and how it can be used to measure outcomes effectively.

Duties

• Analyse and interpret data to measure the performance and impact of products, systems and technical initiatives.
• Work closely with engineering and data science teams to understand what is being built and determine how it should be measured.
• Build data pipelines and infrastructure to extract, process and analyse data from underlying systems.
• Pull the right data from source systems, move it through your own infrastructure and turn it into meaningful, actionable outputs.
• Use AI tools as part of your day-to-day data analytics workflow to improve productivity, analysis and problem-solving.
• Help define what data is needed, where it comes from and how it should be used.
• Communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Explain what data is available, what is missing and what is required to answer key business and technical questions.
• Work pragmatically within a cost-conscious environment, finding effective solutions without relying on expensive tooling or large technology budgets.

Requirements

• Strong experience in Data Analytics, Data Engineering or a combination of both.
• Strong Python skills.
• Experience working with AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL and AWS S
• 3. Experience building or selecting data infrastructure and tools yourself rather than simply operating within a large, fully resourced data environment.
• Experience extracting data from systems, processing it through your own infrastructure and producing meaningful analytical outputs.
• Demonstrable experience of using AI to support or enhance data analytics and data-related work – this is an important part of the role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts and clearly articulate what data is available, what is needed and why.
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach and the ability to work effectively within a cost-conscious environment.
