You’ll be joining the Data Engineering team on a mission to maintain a modern, cloud-native data platform that supports business-critical insights and operations. From managing our central data lake to orchestrating real-time pipelines, our team ensures that data flows securely, reliably, and at scale. The DataOps function plays a critical role in this mission, focusing on the overall process and workflows around the data infrastructure, enhancing continuous monitoring and visibility for data, improving system observability, automating governance, and building the foundation for reproducible, scalable data infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and standardise observability frameworks for data pipelines, ensuring monitoring of system health, data freshness, SLAs, and automated alerting.
• Proactively monitor and troubleshoot pipeline performance issues, including failures, latency, and reliability bottlenecks, with robust logging, retry logic, and recovery mechanisms in place.
• Implement and automate data quality validation, including data checks, testing, and lineage tracking, to ensure trust, reliability, and schema consistency across data products.
• Collaborate with data engineers and domain teams to define and enforce data governance practices, including data SLAs, contracts, access control, encryption, and PII handling.
• Maintain and evolve CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to ensure reproducibility, scalability, and safe deployment of platform components across environments.
• Lead incident response processes, including root cause analysis and postmortems, to drive continuous reliability improvements.
• Own release management workflows for data platform code, including branching strategies, review processes, and approvals.
• Build and maintain a central data catalog that supports data discovery, trust, and documentation for technical users, enabling self-service access to high-quality data products.
• Develop reusable infrastructure patterns and standards that empower teams to independently build, deploy, and manage data pipelines and products with consistency and reliability.

• 7-8+ years of experience in DataOps, DevOps, or Data Engineering roles with a focus on observability and reliability.
• Proficiency in Python (or other scripting languages) and SQL skills for data transformation and validation.
• Experience building and managing data infrastructure in AWS, solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, and version control.
• Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.
• Experience with observability, alerting, and incident response for production data systems.

• Understanding of compliance requirements in regulated environments (e.g., GDPR, ISO, GLI).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• A mindset focused on automation, continuous improvement, and self-service enablement.

Some of the perks of joining us:

• Championing Engineering Excellence to influence data driven impact across global scale software products.
• Work alongside the top 5% of engineering talent in Australia using a vast AWS cloud native and big data technology stack.
• Exposure to building global, large-scale volume data pipelines, data warehouses, and datalakes which are consuming requests at thousands per second frequency.
