Senior Python Data Engineer| Based in Aus | Remote friendly | Equity + comp | ASAP start

This is one of those rare opportunities where purpose, product, and serious engineering all intersect.

Join a post-Series A scale-up solving real-world infrastructure problems with data. They’ve just closed funding, are scaling across Australia and the US and UAE, and are building tools that power analytics for the climate and energy sector.

We're looking for a expert Python engineer with solid software engineering fundamentals and a sharp eye for scalable data infrastructure. This is your chance to join a mission-led team solving real-world problems through product-focused data engineering.

Why now?

Customer growth is booming, technical debt is real, and scalability is top of the roadmap. You’ll help design and deliver clean, scalable pipelines and automate how data flows across the business, turning complexity into reliability.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Writing robust Python (and/or Golang) in production.
  • Leading orchestration with Dagster/Airflow/Prefect.
  • Engineering platform-level improvements (think: automation, observability, scalability).
  • Building and supporting data products used by analytics teams and customers.
  • Navigating legacy systems while building for the future.

The tech you’ll love:

  • Python, Spark (Databricks), dbt
  • AWS (Lambda, EC2, S3), Terraform, CircleCI
  • Collaborative cross-functional teams with real ownership

Who you are:

  • Strong on systems thinking and platform design
  • Proven in production-grade Python and modern data workflows
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, transition, and scale-up chaos
  • Mission-aligned and excited to build something that matters

Ready to build and scale systems, and leave a legacy? Let’s talk - Dani - [email protected]
