Lead enterprise data engineering while staying hands-on with design, development and delivery
12-month contract + 12-month extension
Must be an Australian Citizen with Baseline clearance - NV1 desirable
Take on a senior data engineering role where you'll combine hands-on development with technical leadership across complex enterprise data initiatives.
You'll work across data integration, ETL, analytical datasets and enterprise data platforms, providing technical direction while still getting into the detail of SQL, data modelling, code reviews and implementation.
The Role
As a Data Engineer, you'll work closely with architects, analysts, developers, testers and business stakeholders to deliver scalable and maintainable data solutions while helping improve engineering practices across the broader team.
Your responsibilities will include:
Designing and developing enterprise data integration solutions, ETL processes and analytical datasets
Leading technical delivery of new data assets from design through to deployment and operational support
Providing technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews and implementation guidance
Developing and optimising SQL, data models and supporting technical solutions
Improving data delivery frameworks, development standards and engineering practices
About You




We're particularly interested in:
Robust experience across enterprise data warehouse platforms such as MS SQL, Teradata, Snowflake, Redshift or Databricks
Advanced SQL, including optimisation, troubleshooting and reverse engineering existing code
Programming experience with Python, SAS, R and/or Java
Strong understanding of data models, technical specifications and solution designs
Experience working within DevOps environments, including version control and structured release management
Experience with AWS, S3, Glue or equivalent cloud technologies would be highly regarded
Why Consider the Opportunity?
This role gives you the opportunity to step into a technical leadership position without moving away from hands-on engineering. You'll influence how data solutions are designed and delivered while continuing to work directly across SQL, ETL, data modelling and enterprise data platforms.
You'll also have scope to improve engineering standards and practices across the team, including knowledge sharing and capability uplift.
The role offers hybrid working, with a minimum of three days per week in the office and flexibility for the remaining two days, subject to agreement.
