Summary
Lead Data Engineer for a US-based AI supply chain mapping company, building and customizing data pipelines for Australian clients. You will act as the technical lead in client meetings while remaining hands-on with Python, SQL, Databricks, and AWS/Azure, requiring an active NV1 clearance.
The role
You'll be part of a small Australian team within a US based tech company that uses AI to map global supply chains. You'll build and customise data pipelines for Australian clients, bring their data into the platform, and keep those pipelines reliable, secure and cost effective. The best part about this role is the mix: you're the technical expert in client meetings, and you're still hands-on, working mainly with Python, SQL, Databricks and AWS, with some Azure.
About you
Applying is easy. Share your resume, GitHub, or anything else you're proud of, and highlight your relevant experience in a short cover letter.

- Familiarity with graph databases, entity resolution, or trade and supply chain data a plus
- Contract role based in Canberra
- Join a high performing team working on a platform with global impact
