Looking for Data Engineer - Gold Coast based - Coolangatta

About the Role:
Project Description: Data Platform / Snowflake Transformation - Requirement

• The organisation is currently undertaking a large-scale data platform transformation, working alongside a third-party implementation/vendor partner.
• They are looking to bring in experienced contract resources to supplement the vendor team and internal capability, particularly around the technical strategy and delivery of the new data environment.
• The initial requirement is likely to be around four roles, although two are immediate priorities.
• They are looking for people who can start within the next 2-3 weeks.
• Initial contracts will be for 6 months, with the potential for the right individuals to move into permanent positions longer term.
• The vendor is ready to commence, so these resources are needed quickly to work alongside the vendor and help shape and execute the data strategy.
• Key experience required:
  • Strong experience delivering large-scale data platform / data transformation programs.
  • Proven experience migrating legacy SQL databases into a modern Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) environment.
  • Strong Snowflake experience, with Snowflake sitting at the centre of the target data architecture.

  • Experience with cloud-hosted data solutions, ideally across Azure or AWS.
  • Comfortable working closely with third-party vendors/consultancies, internal stakeholders and technical teams.
  • They need senior, hands-on people rather than junior resources. Someone who can come in, understand the environment quickly and contribute to both the strategy and delivery rather than needing significant direction.
