Data Engineer

As a Data Engineer, you will support all aspects of the management and effective operation of our Enterprise Data Platforms, including data ingestion, pipeline management, system integration and platform administration.

You will support the delivery of business outcomes by designing and delivering technical and data solutions, and help identify opportunities to improve or innovate.

You will be a key contributor to our Enterprise Data team and will help drive broader Great Southern Bank team members to make data led business decisions.

You will be flexible and creative to ensure the best data is used in each situation, while ensuring data has been appropriately tested, validated and manipulated before being distributed.

You will understand how data moves through a business i.e. Extract Transform Load (ETL) and you contribute to interrogating, mapping, validating and documenting data transformations between raw and modelled data layers.

At Great Southern bank, you have the chance to be part of something different in this growing organisation. You will be able to make a bigger difference with us, as we are a bit smaller than the majors and your circle of influence is greater. You will see the results of your work, be recognised for your achievements and be provided with the support you need to help balance your career.
