Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Logical Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Join a well performing National company that is seeking a Software Engineer to deliver software and large-scale data processing solutions on AWS. In this role, you'll champion shift-left quality, strong automation, and resilient system design while owning features end-to-end — from architecture and build through to deployment, monitoring and optimisation.

You'll work across a modern engineering environment using Python, PySpark, Spark, AWS Glue, EMR, Airflow and CI/CD tooling to deliver reliable, scalable and observable services supporting complex financial-services use cases.

This role is a minimum contract running from January 2026 to December 2026 with a likelihood to extend beyond this initial period.

Location: Melbourne or Sydney

What You'll Do

  • Design, build and maintain robust, scalable data processing pipelines in Python and PySpark on AWS.
  • Implement automation across testing, quality, security and deployment, embedding unit, integration and contract tests into CI/CD.
  • Orchestrate workflows using Airflow and AWS Glue, focusing on reliability, cost efficiency and observability.
  • Collaborate with product, platform and QA teams to ensure systems are testable, observable and resilient, with clear SLOs and metrics.
  • Own features end-to-end — design, implementation, code review, performance tuning, deployment and production support.
  • Contribute to engineering standards, DevSecOps practices and release governance.
  • Mentor engineers and help uplift tooling, pipelines and overall developer experience.

What You'll Bring

Must-Have Skills

  • Strong hands-on expertise with
    Python, PySpark, AWS Glue

Technical Experience

  • Commercial experience with AWS Glue, Spark/PySpark and broader AWS data tooling
  • Airflow pipeline orchestration (DAG design, retries, SLAs)
  • CI/CD, shift-left testing and DevSecOps practices (Git-based workflows, TeamCity, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Octopus)
  • Logging, metrics and tracing with tools like CloudWatch or Splunk
  • Designing cloud-native solutions for reliability, scalability and cost efficiency
  • Effective use of AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Roo Code) to speed up development while maintaining quality

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Ab Initio or SAS
  • Data warehousing knowledge: Redshift, Athena, EMR, Iceberg
