Data Engineer

Do you want a job that looks different every day? Have you got an unquenchable passion for data and problem solving? Are you ready to jump into a work environment where you'll collaborate with some of the sharpest minds in the industry? We've got a career you'll enjoy.

At InterWorks, we like our work with a hefty side of play. Our team of high achievers is looking for an eager learner who doesn't shy away from hard work. We need someone whose overall data and programming savvy outweighs niche experience with a particular database platform. Whether you've worked primarily in SQL Server, Postgres, or a more modern cloud-based warehouse, all we really care about is that you have a strong understanding of building data pipelines and are ready to keep learning, every single day.

Please be advised that this role is required to be located in the InterWorks Perth office in Perth, WA.  Remote work or telecommuting arrangements outside of this jurisdiction are not permissible for this position.

Salary range commensurate with experience and qualifications:  $100,000-$150,000 AUD

• Work with disparate data sources (relational databases, flat files, Excel, HDFS/Big Data systems, high-performance analytical databases, etc.) to unify client data
• Collaborate closely with users to understand their unique needs and support them with the best solutions
• Solve data-acquisition, integration, and management problems
• Create ETL processes based on client needs while managing client expectations

What You’ll Need

Must-Haves

• Excellent SQL fluency
• Strong ETL proficiency using GUI-based tools or code-based patterns
• Understanding of data-modelling principles
• Passion for delivering compelling solutions that exceed client expectations
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong problem-solving skills
• Ability to translate business problems into practical data solutions and work effectively with non-technical stakeholders
• A genuine thirst to learn
• Adaptability and flexibility in changing situations

What We’d Like You to Have

• Experience with modern data-engineering practices and frameworks
• Experience with integration from semi-structured file and API sources
• Familiarity with tools such as Informatica (IDMC), Matillion, Fivetran, or dbt
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, or Azure Synapse
