Junior Data Engineer – Data Team

6-Month Contract | Graduate / Junior Level

On-site | George Western Cape

Build the data. Help bring it to life.

If you’re early in your data career and want the chance to work on more than just what happens behind the scenes, this could be a great next step.

We’re looking for a Graduate or Junior Data Engineer to join our ARC Data team on a six-month contract. You’ll help us build, improve and maintain the data solutions our teams rely on, while also getting involved in the front-end experiences that make that data useful and accessible.

It’s a hands‑on role with plenty of opportunity to learn, experiment and make a visible contribution.

About The Role

• You’ll work alongside the Data team to help turn raw information into reliable, useful data products.
• Your work could include:
• Building and maintaining data pipelines and integrations.
• Working with databases, data models and transformation processes.
• Writing clean, efficient SQL and code.
• Helping improve data quality, reliability and performance.
• Supporting APIs and services that connect data to applications.
• Building or enhancing simple front‑end interfaces, dashboards or internal tools that allow people to interact with data.
• Troubleshooting issues and finding practical ways to solve them.
• Working with the wider team to understand a need and help take a solution from data through to something a user can actually see and use.
• You won’t be expected to know everything from day one. What matters is that you have solid foundations, enjoy figuring things out and are keen to grow quickly.
• About you
• You’ll probably thrive here if you’re naturally curious, technically minded and enjoy building things.
