Data Engineer

Do you want a job that looks different every day? Have you got an unquenchable passion for data and problem solving? Are you aching to jump into a work environment where you will work with some of the keenest minds in the industry? We’ve got a career you will enjoy!

At InterWorks, we like our work with a hefty side of play. Our team of high achievers is looking for an eager learner who doesn’t shy away from hard work. We need someone whose overall data and programming savvy outweighs niche experience with a certain database platform. Whether you’ve worked primarily in SQL Server, Postgres or a more modern cloud based warehouse, all we really care about is that you have a strong understanding of building data pipelines and are ready to learn something new, and then continue to learn each and every single day. It also wouldn’t hurt for you to be wicked smart and make one heck of a coworker, but we’re pretty sure you’ve got that covered already. Otherwise, you wouldn’t still be reading.

Please be advised that this role is required to be located in Melbourne, VIC.  Remote work or telecommuting arrangements outside of this jurisdiction are not permissible for this position.

Salary range commensurate with experience and qualifications:  $90,000-$150,000 AUD
