Senior Data Engineer

Sydney | $180k + Super

If you are the type of engineer who enjoys understanding how data moves through systems - pipelines, warehouses, storage layers and infrastructure - this role may interest you.

You would be joining a small B2B software company where data sits close to the core of the product. The team is technical, curious and hands-on. There is no management layer here - you will work directly with the CTO and other engineers to shape how data flows through the organisation.

What You Would Be Doing

Your focus will be building and evolving the company's data platform.

That includes:

• Designing and improving data pipelines

• Working with AWS data infrastructure

• Managing and optimising the Redshift warehouse

• Structuring and modelling messy source data

• Ensuring data moves reliably across systems

• Supporting the reporting and analytics layer

This role suits someone who enjoys building systems and solving complex data problems rather than managing people.

The Environment

You would be working with a stack that currently includes:

• Python

• SQL

• AWS

• RDS (Postgres)

• Redshift

• AWS Glue

• Terraform

• Some legacy MySQL

• QuickSight today, with interest in Power BI

The engineering team is also experimenting with AI-assisted development and internal tooling that allows safe exploration of replicated data environments.

What Matters Most

Tools are useful, but mindset matters more.

You will likely enjoy this role if you:

• Like understanding how data flows through systems

• Enjoy fixing and improving data pipelines

• Take pride in building reliable infrastructure

• Prefer hands-on engineering rather than management

• Are naturally curious about how systems can be improved

The Team

You would be joining a small, highly capable engineering team that values curiosity, technical depth and thoughtful problem solving.

This role tends to suit engineers who enjoy tackling complex technical problems but prefer working in a smaller environment where they can have meaningful ownership of the systems they build.
