Introduction to role

Astra Zeneca is a global biopharmaceutical business that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious diseases. At Astra Zeneca, we're proud to have a workplace culture that inspires innovation and collaboration. Here, you would express diverse perspectives, contribute to an energized environment, and provide creative ideas - and be rewarded for this.
As a Technical Lead in the Drug Development Data Platform (3DP), you will manage a global team of full-stack data engineers and support solution development, provide technical leadership, and take responsibility for delivery. This is a business-facing role, and your communication and technical skills are equally important; you will be setting expectations, reporting progress, and managing relationships with senior stakeholders.

You will have a broad range of knowledge and experience across data & analytics. You will work almost exclusively on our AWS data platform. You will join a team that has delivered cloud solutions, such as the development of auto-scaling containerized ETL. Similarly, we have built an automated ETL test harness which integrates with our evolving CI/CD processes.
You'll be part of a team of engineers who work closely with IT colleagues across the world in Mexico, Spain, India, and the UK. You would be the technical point of reference in the team and need a collaborative delivery approach to be successful. We prefer to use Agile but choose the appropriate approach for the team and stakeholders. You will provide technical leadership throughout our software development lifecycle, from the initial development of a technical design based on a blueprint, right through to hypercare.
