This role is perfect for someone passionate about building robust data solutions and driving innovation in a supportive, values-driven environment. As a Senior Data Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing scalable pipelines and partner with cross-functional teams - product and scientist - to deliver impactful solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Build reusable, cloud-ready data pipelines for ML, reporting, and compliance.
  • Enhance the research data warehouse with scalable, efficient architectures.
  • Turn complex business logic into production-grade transformations.
  • Write clean, modular code that meets platform standards.
  • Integrate pipelines into CI/CD workflows with robust logging and observability.

What you bring:

Bring your curiosity, adaptability, and drive for excellence - because this role isn't just about building pipelines. It's about shaping best practices, mentoring others, and stepping into team leadership down the track.

Experience with image data (DICOM), annotation systems, or healthcare projects? That's a big plus.

Requirements:

  • Degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • Proven experience delivering production-ready data solutions in collaborative teams.
  • Strong ETL design skills, plus solid SQL and Python expertise.
  • Hands-on experience with data warehouses/lakes and AWS (Terraform, Lambda, ECS/EC2).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions) and observability practices.
  • Knowledge of data quality, test automation, and compliance standards.
  • Clear communication skills for cross-team collaboration and stakeholder alignment.
  • Exposure to regulated environments and data governance challenges.
  • Excellent documentation habits for reusable, auditable code.
