Onyx Gaming is a trusted operational advisor and a leading provider of Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) systems. We combine technology, innovation and industry expertise to deliver smart solutions that support hospitality venues across Australia.

We're continuing to invest in our data and analytics capability, and our team is growing!

We're looking for a curious and motivated Data Scientist to join us as we expand our use of data, machine learning and AI to develop smarter solutions and drive better business decisions.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing team, work with real-world data and contribute to exciting projects while developing your skills alongside experienced colleagues.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an emerging Data Scientist who wants to do more than just analyse numbers. You'll work with real-world data, explore new ideas and help develop predictive models and practical solutions that make a difference to our business.

Whether you're a recent graduate with a strong technical foundation or an early-career professional looking for your next challenge, you'll have the opportunity to build your skills in machine learning, AI and advanced analytics, with guidance and support from experienced team members.

In this role, you'll:

- Work with diverse datasets, collecting, cleaning and preparing data for analysis and modelling.
- Help develop, test and deploy predictive models and analytical solutions.
- Explore data to uncover trends, patterns and opportunities.
- Turn complex findings into clear, meaningful visualisations and insights.
- Collaborate with teams across the business to turn challenges into data-driven solutions.
- Contribute to model monitoring, documentation and continuous improvement.




- Explore emerging technologies and techniques in data science, machine learning and AI.
- Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing and team learning.
- Get involved in research and development, testing new ideas and approaches.
- Take ownership of assigned projects while learning from experienced colleagues.
- Prototype new algorithms and data-driven product ideas.

About You

You're naturally curious, enjoy solving problems and love discovering what data can tell you. You're comfortable getting hands-on, asking questions and exploring different approaches to find the right solution. Most importantly, you're keen to learn, contribute and grow your career in a team where your ideas are valued.

What you'll bring:

- A genuine interest in machine learning, AI and predictive modelling.
- Strong programming fundamentals, ideally in Python, with exposure to libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Experience working with data using tools such as pandas and a basic understanding of SQL. Snowflake experience would be a bonus.
- The ability to create clear data visualisations using tools such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, Tableau, Power BI or GoodData.
- Familiarity with version control tools such as Git.
- Strong analytical thinking and a practical approach to problem-solving.
- An interest in working with large datasets and tackling complex data challenges.




- A willingness to collaborate, share ideas and keep learning.

Experience with statistical modelling, model tuning or business intelligence dashboards would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Recent graduates and early-career professionals are encouraged to apply. We're interested in your potential, curiosity and willingness to learn, not just the number of years on your CV.

What We Offer

At Onyx, you'll be part of a collaborative team where you can learn, contribute and see the impact of your work.

- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Flexible working hours.
- A supportive team that encourages collaboration, new ideas and learning.
- Professional development through our Learning & Development program, with opportunities to grow your career.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
- One paid Community Day each year to support a cause that's important to you.
- Barista coffee, quarterly celebrations and regular team events.
