Job description

Build modern data solutions. Lead client outcomes. Help grow our Queensland capability.

At Altis Consulting, we're looking for a hands‑on Data Engineer who enjoys being close to both the technology and the client.

This is a role for someone who can take a business problem, shape the right technical approach, and lead it through to a practical outcome. You'll work across modern data platforms and engineering solutions while building trusted relationships with clients and helping develop the consultants around you.

What you’ll do

• Design scalable data platforms, pipelines, integration and analytics solutions.
• Work across modern cloud technologies including Databricks, Snowflake and the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem.
• Translate complex business requirements into clear technical solutions.
• Guide and mentor consultants and contribute to a strong engineering culture.
• Build trusted relationships with technical and business stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to create additional value for clients and contribute to proposals and solution shaping.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have strong experience across data engineering, architecture or analytics consulting and be comfortable operating directly with clients.

We’re particularly interested in experience across

• Modern data engineering and data modelling

• Databricks experience essential
• SQL and modern data integration/ELT patterns
• Data quality, governance and sustainable engineering practices
• Leading projects or small technical teams
• Consulting, advisory or client-facing delivery

You don't need to have worked with every technology we use. We're more interested in strong foundations, sound technical judgement and an ability to learn.

The person we’re looking for

You enjoy solving ambiguous problems, can challenge thinking respectfully and know when a technically impressive solution isn’t necessarily the right business solution.

You’ll be comfortable talking architecture with engineers one minute and explaining the value of the solution to an executive stakeholder the next.

Why Altis?

For more than 25 years, Altis has focused on one thing: helping organisations create better outcomes through data.

We’re Australian-owned and technology-agnostic, which means our consultants can focus on solving the right problem rather than selling a particular platform.

• Work across varied and challenging Data & AI engagements
• Learn from experienced specialists across consulting, engineering, analytics and AI
• Build your capability through ongoing learning and career development
• Work in a collaborative environment where you’re encouraged to challenge ideas and contribute your own

• Access health and wellbeing support for you and your family
• Access paid parental leave and our reward and recognition program

Our values — Be Curious, Own It, Lead with Heart and Discover a Way — shape how we work with our clients and with each other.

Your next move doesn’t need to tick every box.

If the role sounds like the direction you want your career to take but you don’t meet every requirement listed, we’d still encourage you to apply.

Different experiences and perspectives make our teams stronger.
