We’re looking for people with drive and natural curiosity – who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly. SQL Development - Solid SQL skills with practical experience in data warehouse environments. This includes writing complex queries, designing and maintaining dimensional models (star/snowflake schemas), and understanding performance considerations such as indexing and query optimisation.

Ability to troubleshoot failures and improve the reliability of existing processes. Power BI Development - Strong Power BI skills across the full development lifecycle, including semantic model design, DAX measure development, report and dashboard creation, and Row-Level Security (RLS) for both internal and external audiences. Experience managing and maintaining content within the Power BI Service (workspaces, datasets, scheduled refreshes, deployment pipelines). Capturing Business Requirements - Ability to work directly with business stakeholders to understand their data needs and translate these into clear technical requirements and deliverables. Comfortable facilitating requirements discussions and managing expectations across technical and non-technical audiences. Personal Attributes - Able to communicate technical concepts clearly to commercial non-technical stakeholders, comfortable working with legacy systems and complex inherited codebases, and self-motivated, capable of managing priorities independently in a small team. The InPost process: We pride ourselves on our candidate experience. We want to make this as straightforward as possible, for you and for us! We will try our best to get back to you within a few days to let you know if we’d like to take you to the first stage. This normally involves a 20 minute chat with our Talent Team. If we both feel the connection, you’ll then go through another one or two stages, depending on the level of the role. At InPost, we love uniqueness. Our strength is our people. We strive to create an open, equal, inclusive environment in which everyone has the opportunity to flourish and be themselves.
