- Permanent role
- Based in North Sydney (Hybrid)

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain modern data solutions that enable advanced analytics, modelling, and reporting. A key part of the role will be maintaining and extending our enterprise Data Warehouse on Databricks, while also contributing to a broader range of data engineering initiatives across the business. You will collaborate with Data Scientists, Analytics Engineers, Data Business Analysts, and other technical teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and well-governed data products that support strategic decision-making.

Key responsibilities and experience:

- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines across the Data Warehouse, leveraging the Medallion Architecture concept.
- Extend ingestion and transformation pipelines for new data sources, ensuring reliable history handling and production-ready outputs.
- Maintain and extend the Data Warehouse, ensuring performance, scalability, and alignment with evolving business needs.
- Implement robust data quality, governance, and lineage controls (e.g., schema validation, integrity checks, freshness monitoring) aligned with internal standards.
- Partner with Data Scientists to ensure data assets are optimised for modelling and experimentation. Collaborate with Analytics Engineers to design data models that balance efficiency, maintainability, and business relevance.
- Ensure pipelines are maintainable and extensible by documenting logic, creating runbooks/playbooks, and enabling smooth knowledge transfer.
- Monitor and optimise compute usage for performance and cost efficiency.
- Investigate, debug, and perform root cause analysis to resolve data errors and pipeline failures.
- Ensure code quality and pipeline reliability through comprehensive testing practices (unit tests, integration tests, and acceptance tests).
- Contribute to checkpoint reviews, ensuring alignment on delivery expectations and early risk identification.

You will also have:

- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
- Experience at a senior level in data engineering, with hands-on delivery of complex data solutions.
- Proven experience maintaining and extending enterprise Data Warehouses, ideally on modern cloud platforms.
- Experience working with cloud data platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake, and cloud service providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Strong experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
- Proficiency in Python and PySpark for data engineering.
- Strong experience with data transformation and modelling tools (e.g., dbt or similar).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks in a data engineering context.
- Experience implementing DataOps principles in production environments.
- Familiarity with Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI/visualisation tools.
- Solid understanding of data modelling approaches (e.g. star and snowflake schemas, slowly changing dimensions).
- Familiarity with workflow automation and scheduling tools (e.g., Airflow, Git, Databricks Workflows).
- Strong grasp of the data development lifecycle, from ingestion to production ready assets.

Highly Desirable

- Hands-on experience with Databricks, including the use of Delta Live Tables (DLT) for orchestration.
- Exposure to governance frameworks and automated data quality practices.
- Experience working with commercial, operational, or domain-specific data.
- Knowledge of cloud-based data platforms and their integration with modern analytics stacks.
- Background in supporting analytics and BI tools (e.g., Power BI) through curated data marts.
- Familiarity with optimisation, advanced analytics, or machine learning environments

Our benefits and perks:

- Competitive salary package
- A positive, supportive workplace culture
- Professional growth and development opportunities
- Comprehensive, paid training and ongoing support
