The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join an established Australian organisation and help build, connect and optimise the data workflows that support its marketing and customer platforms.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys owning technical solutions end-to-end. You'll work across data integrations, automated workflows and production pipelines, ensuring information moves accurately and reliably between systems.

The role will suit a practical engineer who enjoys building solutions, solving data problems and improving the reliability of systems in a changing technology environment. Experience in marketing technology or customer data is beneficial, but strong integration and data engineering skills are the priority.


What You'll Be Doing

• Design, build and maintain data pipelines, system integrations and automated workflows.
• Manage data movement between platforms, including extraction, transformation, mapping, validation, enrichment and transmission.
• Build and maintain integrations using APIs, webhooks, event triggers, scripts and platform-native tools.
• Write SQL queries to transform, validate and troubleshoot data.
• Develop workflow logic and ensure data is accurate, consistent and fit for use.
• Monitor production workflows and resolve integration failures, data quality issues and performance problems.
• Improve reliability through logging, alerting, error handling, retries and ongoing optimisation.
• Work with technical and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver practical solutions.
• Maintain clear documentation around integrations, data flows and operational processes.
• Follow appropriate privacy, consent, security and data governance practices.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years' experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, data operations, integration engineering, martech or a related technical discipline.
• Proven experience owning production data pipelines, integrations, workflows or data activation solutions.
• Strong SQL skills and an understanding of data transformation, mapping and validation.
• Practical experience working with APIs, webhooks, automated workflows or event-driven integrations.
• An operational mindset, with experience monitoring production systems and troubleshooting issues.
• Strong attention to data quality, reliability, documentation and maintainability.
• The ability to work independently and take solutions from initial design through to implementation and ongoing support.
• Experience with CRM, CDP, marketing platforms, customer systems or digital analytics would be advantageous.
• Familiarity with cloud data platforms, ETL/ELT tools, orchestration platforms or low-code/no-code integration tools is beneficial.

Why Consider This Role?

• Own solutions from design and build through to production support.
• Work on integrations connecting multiple customer and marketing platforms.
• Have the flexibility to use the right tools for the problem, including platform-native and automation solutions.
• Help improve data quality, operational reliability and the effectiveness of customer-facing systems.
• Work with a collaborative team on evolving technology and data initiatives.
