Description

Join Us at a Defining Moment

At Intelligen, we’re building something different. Over the past three years, we’ve evolved from a bold startup to a trusted partner for some of Australia’s most complex data transformations. As demand for modern data engineering accelerates, we’re expanding our consulting team with hands-on technical talent who can help clients uplift and modernise their data platforms at speed.

We’re now embarking on a major engagement with a key enterprise client and are looking for experienced dbt /Snowflake data engineers who can re-engineer, optimise, and domain-align existing data models and pipelines.

If you thrive in delivery-focused environments, enjoy solving complex data challenges, and want to shape how modern data engineering is done across Melbourne, we’d love to meet you.

• Support CI/CD, testing, and documentation of all aspects of data engineering projects.
• Collaborate with the broader Intelligen consulting practice as part of a multi-resource delivery team.

Requirements

• 4-6+ years’ experience in data engineering.
