Data Engineer - Telecommunications OR Network environments

Data Engineer - Telecommunications OR Network environments - SYDNEY

Role Overview

The Data Engineer builds and manages high-quality, scalable data pipelines on cloud platforms like GCP, Azure, and AWS to support network performance and analytics. The role also involves close collaboration with stakeholders to uncover opportunities and drive business value from network data.

Your day to day will consist of

· Design, build, and maintain end‑to‑end data pipelines for network data (telemetry, performance, fault, capacity, configuration).

· Work with structured and semi‑structured data from network systems (e.g. OSS/BSS, monitoring platforms).

· Develop scalable data transformations using SQL, Python, and Spark/PySpark, ensuring pipelines are reliable and performant.

· Perform exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and support analytical use cases like anomaly detection, forecasting, and optimisation.

· Collaborate with data scientists/ML engineers to enable model training, deployment, and translate insights for stakeholders.

· Build and operate cloud-based data solutions across GCP, Azure, and AWS using tools like Databricks, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices.

· Ensure strong data quality, governance, and compliance by implementing monitoring, resolving data issues, and managing metadata, lineage, and security.

What makes you perfect for the role

· Proven experience building production-grade data pipelines and analytical solutions, ideally in telecommunications or network environments.

· Hands-on expertise with cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, AWS) and distributed processing tools like Spark/Databricks.

· Strong technical skills in SQL, Python, and knowledge of network concepts and KPIs (performance, fault, capacity, availability).

· Understanding of data quality frameworks, governance principles, and modern cloud-native architectures (CI/CD, containerisation).

· Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and results-oriented mindset with the ability to plan and deliver effectively.
