<li>Designing and enforcing data integrity frameworks across betting, trading, and customer data domains &mdash; including reconciliation between source and target systems, anomaly detection, and audit trail requirements</li>
<li>Overseeing the implementation of regulatory and compliance reporting pipelines that meet the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission and international licensing bodies</li>
<li>Working with AWS services including S3, Glue, Lambda, Athena, Redshift, RDS, Kinesis, MSK, Lake Formation, Step Functions, and MWAA &mdash; selecting the right tool for each problem rather than defaulting to a stack</li></ul><br>

<li>You've led or made decisive contributions to large-scale data migrations in iGaming &mdash; moving live betting, customer, or trading data at scale while maintaining integrity and uptime</li>
<li>You've designed or owned low-latency data pipelines where correctness and throughput are both critical &mdash; odds ingestion, in-play event streams, bet settlement, or equivalent</li>
