Full Stack Data Engineer

Save the Children International

Melbourne, Australia

 In this full time, permanent role ideally based out of our Melbourne head office*, you’ll work as a part of our Technology team in to help us create lasting change for children everywhere.

Responsibilities:

  • Pipeline wizardry: Design metadata-driven, idempotent pipelines that scale and make future-you proud.
  • Engineering discipline: Bring Git, CI/CD, testing, and best practices to our data workflows—because hacky scripts won’t cut it.
  • Stakeholder whisperer: Work with people across the org to turn messy requirements into elegant, business-ready data models.
  • Analytics enabler: Build and optimize semantic models that fuel reporting, insights, and decision-making.
  • Data guardian: Keep our data secure, compliant, and trustworthy—protecting sensitive information is part of protecting kids.
  • Future shaper: Help evolve our platform so we’re ready for AI, advanced analytics, and whatever comes next.
  • Ops ninja: Promote DataOps principles—automation, agility, reliability—everywhere you can.
  • Integration smarts: Architect clean integrations and databases that just work.

Requirements:

  • Fluent in Python + SQL, with pipelines that are both efficient and easy to maintain.
  • Strong grasp of data modelling best practices.
  • You geek out on Python, SQL, and data modelling—but you’re motivated by knowing that your work drives real-world change.
  • Experience with metadata-driven pipelines (automation is your friend).
  • Familiar with Power BI (or ready to upskill on visualization).
  • Solid with Git and software engineering discipline.
  • Great at translating tech jargon into human language.
