• You will be hands‑on in the ingestion of ASX’s core data assets by the product teams, their curation into source-aligned data products and the creation of consumable products in the form of files, reports, dashboards and APIs.
• You will form part of a data engineering practice and community that will design and drive the adoption of standards, frameworks and best practices.
• You will ensure data pipelines and products are designed and built to be run within a critical market infrastructure environment by the persistent product teams who build them.

Your experience and qualifications

Must have

• A hands‑on engineer with deep experience working with a variety of AWS services for ingestion, curation, storage, orchestration, data management, analytics and distribution.
• Good knowledge of data modelling and how to structure data within a data warehousing environment, while following best practice data management standards.
• Solid data product architecture and solution design experience with a good working knowledge of DevSecOps practices to achieve high levels of automation across complex data pipelines.
