These are permanent, full-time roles suited to consultants with around 2–5 years’ local experience who are ready to take ownership of projects, work closely with clients, and further their career in cloud data engineering.

About the Roles

You’ll join a tight-knit team of passionate Data, Cloud & AI professionals delivering end-to-end solutions – from building data pipelines and data warehousing to advanced analytics and AI/ML use cases. Expect to work across multiple projects, gain exposure to cutting-edge tools, and have a direct impact on clients’ data strategies.

What You'll Bring

Strong foundations in data modelling, warehousing and ETL concepts

Strong analytics experience and ability to build BI Dashboards and Reports (Tableau, Power BI or Looker)

Hands-on experience designing and implementing data pipelines

Proficiency in Python and SQL (Spark experience advantageous)

Commercial experience with Snowflake or Databricks

Exposure to at least one public cloud platform (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also considered)

Confident client-facing communication skills (written and verbal English must be excellent).

Nice to Have

GCP, Snowflake or Databricks certifications

Experience with DevOps practices, streaming data solutions, or data security principles

Consultancy experience or experience working with and/or managing stakeholders

An Academic Background, such as a Masters Degree in Information Technology, Data Science etc

Culture & Fit

More than just technical ability, culture fit is everything. This consultancy values people who can present themselves professionally, communicate clearly with clients, and bring curiosity, initiative, and a collaborative spirit to their work. The right person will be:

Curious & Intelligent

A Continuous Learner

Social & Approachable, with the ability to hold the board room and confident when dealing with clients

A team player: You're the kind of person who if a client has an urgent release or deadline, you go the extra mile and work with the team to ensure it gets done. You don't watch the clock or have a "that's not my job" attitude - these guys are a small but collaborative team, and they lean on one another heavily.

These guys do weekly Thursday night staff drinks, regular lunches and staff days, and enjoy each others company both inside and outside of work! The right kind of person is someone who is going to want to get involved and really be a core member of the team.

The Essentials

Based in Sydney CBD (Martin Place) – minimum 3 days per week in office. If a client has a deadline or release that requires extra office presence, then the expectation is that you're flexible.

Permanent, full-time opportunities (no sponsorship available)

Must be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident – applications from candidates outside Sydney or without working rights will not be considered

What's on offer

Competitive salary, well above the current market (Ranging from $100k to $140k + Super depending on experience) ideal profile has 2-4 years experience, at around the $120k + Super mark.

Hybrid Working with some flexibility

Exceptional team culture

High growth environment, these two roles form part of their core team before they start to scale rapidly! You will be able to play a key role in decision making, business strategy and your voice will be valued and heard across the business.

Projects to contribute to from Day 1, across a range of clients and technologies

Personal career development plans and mentoring with a roadmap to Senior Consultant
