Job Description

• Shape the future architecture of Jetstar’s modern enterprise data platform
• Use your deep Snowflake expertise to design secure, scalable and well-governed data solutions
• Full-time opportunity based in Melbourne, with hybrid working arrangements

Love travel and passionate about all things aviation. You’re in the right place. At Jetstar, you get to takeoff at work, and in life.

As a team, we’re lucky we get to do both for a living – and we want you to be part of where we go next. Helping our teammates soar is what we’re all about. And with a new fleet of state-of-the-art aircraft, plus new routes being added, the sky’s the limit.
Takeoff with your next opportunity

As the Data Solution Architect, you’ll help shape the future of Jetstar’s modern enterprise data platform, with Snowflake at the heart of the environment. Working alongside our existing Data Architect and broader architecture community, you’ll design secure, scalable and well-governed solutions that enable data, analytics, automation and faster decision-making across the business.

You’ll provide architectural leadership across the platform, including data ingestion, transformation, modelling, access, governance and real-time analytics. You’ll establish reusable architecture patterns and standards, guide the migration of legacy data warehouses into Snowflake, and help ensure the platform continues to evolve in line with Jetstar’s future needs.

This is an opportunity for an experienced architect who combines deep technical expertise with strong communication and influencing capability. You’ll be comfortable engaging with engineers and architects at a detailed technical level, while clearly explaining architectural decisions, risks and trade-offs to senior and non-technical stakeholders.

To be considered for this role, key skills will include:

• Significant hands-on experience designing and architecting production solutions within Snowflake environments
• Strong experience with dbt for large-scale data transformation and modelling
• Demonstrated experience embedding data governance within modern cloud data platforms
• Experience delivering or leading migrations from legacy data warehouses, such as Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server, into cloud-based environments
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to clearly articulate architectural decisions and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Exposure to technologies such as Alation or similar data catalogues, Fivetran, Snowflake Openflow or Apache NiFi, and Confluent Kafka or other event-streaming platforms will be highly regarded
