Data Engineer

A Senior Data Engineer is wanted to assist on a complex data project for 6 months.
Your new company
Join one of Australia's most trusted organisations, known for its long-standing commitment to community, innovation, and mobility. This organisation offers a unique blend of purpose-driven work and cutting-edge technology initiatives.
They are currently leading a collaborative transformation project, focused on building a cloud-based data platform.

Your new role
As the Senior Data Engineer, you'll join a high-impact, greenfield cloud migration project. You'll work closely with a solution architect, tech delivery leads, and a cross-functional team of analysts and developers. Your mission is to take a medium-level design and transform it into a robust, scalable, and secure data platform. You'll be responsible for replicating vendor data into a central integration layer, managing multiple Azure tenancies, and implementing secure data flows using Microsoft Private Link.
This role demands deep technical expertise, a proactive mindset, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity. You'll be expected to navigate vague requirements, communicate with diverse stakeholders, and drive clarity through detailed design and execution.

  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, C#, or similar, especially for data transformation and segregation tasks.
  • Experience with Azure Private Link and secure data replication across multiple Azure tenancies.
  • Solid understanding of data governance, security protocols, and cloud architecture best practices.
  • Ability to design and implement robust data pipelines in a PaaS environment, avoiding legacy infrastructure pitfalls.
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams with varying levels of technical maturity
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, able to communicate with BAs, analysts, tech leads, and non-technical stakeholders.

About you
  • You're a self-starter who can "get in, figure it out, and get stuck into it."
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with shifting priorities
  • Resilient and adaptable
  • Passionate about building something new and meaningful from the ground up.

What you'll get in return
  • Flexible work environment: 100% remote-friendly with the option to go into the office.
  • 6-month initial contract with potential to extend.
  • High-impact work and supportive team culture.
  • Contracting through Hays means you will have a personal consultant by your side who will check in with you on a monthly basis, you will have easy access to timesheets, and a weekly pay-cycle.
