How will you make an impact?

Delivery & Engineering

• Write production-quality code aligned to team standards, including appropriate unit and integration tests

• Design and implement data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve large-scale structured and unstructured datasets

• Review code and test cases produced by others, ensuring changes satisfy business requirements, follow best practices, and integrate cleanly with the existing codebase

• Provide constructive feedback to other team members on code quality, design patterns, and testing approaches

• Collaborate with other Lead and Senior Engineers to produce high-level designs and technical architectures for larger pieces of work

• Validate technical designs and estimates produced by other team members

• Merge reviewed code into release branches, resolve conflicts, and manage deployments to production and non-production environments

Operations & Reliability

• Troubleshoot production issues and raise / prioritise bug tickets to drive resolution

• Proactively monitor pipeline health, data quality, and system performance — acting to report and resolve issues before they impact downstream consumers

• Provide support for periodic ETL processes that run outside standard Australia business hours (aligned to Indian time zones), ensuring SLAs are met

Planning & Collaboration

• Work with business stakeholders and technical leads to define, scope, and estimate new epics

• Contribute to backlog refinement sessions, breaking down epics into well-defined user stories that deliver incremental business value

• Work closely with Product Owners to ensure the backlog is prioritised to maximise business value while managing technical debt

• Contribute to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives to maintain a culture of continuous improvement within the squad

Mentoring & Development

• Coach and mentor more junior engineers to support their technical growth and professional development

• Support the Lead Data Engineer in identifying development opportunities and aligning work assignments to team members' longer-term career objectives
