Senior Technical Analyst

What You’ll Do Build and design data acquisition workflows. Design, build, and maintain Python and LLM-based workflows for civic and public‑sector datasets, including API integrations, data parsing, transformation, and validation. Use SQL to investigate, validate, reconcile, and analyse datasets across multiple sources. Lead projects end-to-end. Own data acquisition work from requirements and source evaluation through implementation, monitoring, and ongoing improvement. Work with the team and cross‑functional partners to design systems supporting new data types and evolving organisational needs. Improve continuously. Identify and prioritise opportunities to enhance data quality, efficiency, and reliability through better processes or new approaches, including a deep understanding of the data to design better systems. Get creative. Create and leverage AI‑enabled tools to accelerate development and automate repetitive tasks. Make informed judgement calls about where these tools help and where they don’t. When a task isn’t automatable, roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. Elevate the team. Document data sources, processes, and assumptions to support long‑term maintainability. Actively collaborate with teammates across planning, brainstorming, and technical implementation – pressure‑testing an approach together, pairing on a tricky pipeline, or helping a colleague think through a problem from scratch. Qualifications 6+ years of experience in technical or data‑focused roles (e.g., data acquisition, data engineering, analytics engineering, or similar). Strong proficiency in Python, including writing maintainable, well‑documented code for data workflows. Strong SQL skills, including complex querying for data validation, reconciliation, and analysis. Experience working with APIs and programme‑matic data ingestion. Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage priorities, and deliver high‑quality results with minimal oversight. Experience documenting technical processes and explaining them clearly to others. A genuine orientation toward collaborative work with demonstrated ability to contribute to shared technical decisions within and across teams. Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git). Nice‑to‑haves Experience working with civic, elections, or public‑sector data. Experience identifying and implementing improvements to existing data processes. Familiarity with cloud‑based data tools or infrastructure (e.g., AWS). Experience supporting production data pipelines or operational data systems. Experience using AI‑assisted tools to enhance development workflows. Comfort working with semi‑structured or unstructured data sources.
