As the Repository approaches launch in Q1 2026, CDT requires a dedicated Data Engineer to support data extraction, transformation, and loading as well as analytical output generation. This role is critical to ensure that the Repository operates with accurate, consistent, and relevant data that can inform NATO’s cyber decision-making processes.

The Data Engineer will be required to help create a data analysis and visualisation portal (similar in function to the Repository) that will streamline data processing of Allied self-assessments.

The data analysis capabilities will be required to identify trends and anomalies in Allied data, as well as comparative analysis of Allied progress over time by comparing annual submissions.
