About Us
We are an award winning, national $16B public offer industry fund focused on the education and community sectors. Working for NGS Super means being part of something bigger and working to make a difference to our members and their financial future.
Our people are key to our success, and as we expand, we're committed to finding and retaining the right talent to take on the journey. As well as a flexible and fun workplace, we offer competitive benefits including additional leave entitlements, personal & professional development and health & wellbeing programs.
The Role
We're looking for a talented Data Engineer to join our dedicated Data & Insights Team in a 12-month fixed term contract as we embark on a journey of transformation. A detail-oriented Engineer, you will design, build and maintain scalable and reliable data pipelines and infrastructure that support our growing data needs. You will play a critical role in enabling data-driven decision-making across the organisation by ensuring data is timely, accurate, accessible and fit-for-purpose, and aligned to business and regulatory requirements.
You will work at the heart of our technology transformation, contributing to the modernisation of our data platforms, streamlining data flows across internal and external systems, and uplifting our capabilities in analytics, reporting, and automation. This is a key role in shaping how data is governed, secured, and leveraged across the business, as we continue to transition toward a more agile, cloud-enabled, and insights-driven operating model.
What you'll do:
* Work closely with the engineering team and data team to implement and maintain scalable data solutions across structured and unstructured sources.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data requirements and translate them into robust engineering solutions.
* Design and implement robust ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, transform, and deliver data from diverse sources.
* Build and manage data warehouses that supports analytics, reporting, and machine learning use cases.
* Monitor data pipelines for performance, failures, and data quality issues; implement alerting and monitoring methods.
* Ensure data security, governance, and compliance with internal policies and relevant standards.
* Optimise query performance to reduce latency.
* Document data flows, data lineage, and pipeline architecture for ongoing maintenance and onboarding.
About You
We are looking for someone who brings fresh experience and thinking to the superannuation industry to help drive our growth journey. You will bring the following key skills:
* 5+ years of practical experience in ETL/ELT and data warehouse administration.
* Strong SQL skills - able to write complex queries and optimize performance.
* Proficient in Python for scripting and data manipulation.
* Deep knowledge of data modelling and data warehousing concepts.
* Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS (RDS, Redshift, EC2, S3) and Azure.
* Solid understanding of data governance, privacy, and security best practices.
The following skills are nice to have but not essential:
* Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based development workflows.
* Exposure to Infrastructure-As-Code tools.
* Experience with data warehouse migration.
* Experience integrating systems via APIs (REST, GraphQL, or SOAP) and managing data exchange between internal and external platforms.
* Familiarity with modern data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery.
* Experience with orchestration tools, e.g. Airflow or Prefect.
* Experience working in regulated industries or with sensitive data environments is a plus.
The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with the ability to work across data platforms and contribute to the continuous improvement of our data ecosystem. If you have a passion for transforming raw data into meaningful insights, we would love to hear from you.
We are a super fund that has an exceptional work culture, provides a diverse offering in developing our people and you can be a part of it while earning an attractive remuneration package
