We have an exciting opportunity to join our Technology team in Sydney and are currently looking for a Data Engineer to join the team. 

As a Data Engineer at VGW, you’ll architect and optimise scalable, cloud-native ETL pipelines that transform raw data into reliable, analytics-ready insights.

What you should know about our Engineering team:

• We make room to do things the right way
• You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it
• We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do

When it comes to Learning and Development:

• Learning is part of our fabric. We have a world-class Engineering Learning and Development program and we are passionate about career development. 
• Thought Leaders regularly give tailored talks and workshops for our team.
• We are proactive in the community attending many local and international conferences.
• We have both a technical and management track for career progression and promotions.
• We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with Snowflake as our Data warehouse.

What you will bring to the role:

• 3–5 years’ experience building and operating cloud-native data pipelines (AWS and Snowflake is preferred) 
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with hands-on experience in ETL/ELT frameworks
• Demonstrated ability to design, implement and optimise data models and workflows
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD tooling
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner with software engineers, product teams and business stakeholders
