Lead Data Engineer

Description:

As Lead Data Engineer you will be instrumental in the development and implementation of core borders and immigration-related management information assets within the Home Office.

The Home Office is the lead government Department for immigration and passports, crime, police, fire, and counter terrorism – significant issues which are at the heart of the agenda of HM Government. The challenges and opportunities the Department faces are significant and rapidly changing in the global environment in which we operate. Strong analytical advice is needed to navigate these challenges, and the Home Office has a reputation for putting analysis at the heart of decision-making.

Part of the Home Office Analysis & Insight directorate (HOAI), the Performance Reporting & Analysis Unit (PRAU) provides reporting and analysis of performance for the Migration & Borders Mission and associated operational Capabilities. We support Ministers, the Executive Committee, Policy and Operational leads and other analytical functions with the management information (MI) that they need, as well as producing data for publication and other forms of external release. The Unit also provides advice and support to others in the Department on how to make best use of performance information and is leading on the transformation of MI systems and capabilities.

The Data Integration team within PRAU are at the heart of multi-year transformation of the MI model and systems, introducing a cloud-based, sustainable and agilely-delivered, MI platform and service called Vantage. As a key leader in this programme, you will be working in a challenging and exciting space that demands enthusiasm, creativity and careful management.
