This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and software engineering , ideal for someone who loves building modern cloud-native data products end‑to‑end. Why this role is exciting True product engineering — own, design and ship features end‑to‑end in a cross-functional squad. ~50% of your time coding across Git, dbt, Snowflake and AWS.

What you’ll be doing Designing, building and operating event-driven AWS data pipelines using serverless technologies. Developing dbt models and Snowflake transformations that feed analytics and product workloads. Writing production‑grade code (including testing, CI/CD, and code reviews). Working in fortnightly Agile sprints, collaborating closely with a PO, devs, testers, UX and cloud specialists. Proactively identifying issues, communicating early, and driving solutions independently. What we’re looking for (must-haves) Strong software engineering fundamentals — confident writing clean, testable code. Comfortable spending around 50% of your time coding . Hands‑on experience with AWS (especially Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SQS). Solid production experience with dbt and Snowflake. Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js). Someone who thrives in lean, outcome‑focused teams and can hit the ground running. Nice-to-haves Experience with Databricks, streaming pipelines or similar tooling. Exposure to machine learning workflows (not essential). Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform/CDK) and strong CI/CD habits. Engagement details Day rate: Market rates Location: Brisbane CBD, hybrid — 3 days onsite until May; likely 4 days onsite from May onwards .
