High-impact Data Engineer role bridging NZ & AU teams. Shape architecture, improve pipelines, and drive real change in a major retail data platform.
Why You’ll Like It
We’ve partnered with a major retail brand, a well-known household name that’s doubling down on data. They're expanding their NZ presence and building a smarter, faster, and more connected data platform.
This is a rare opportunity to represent New Zealand’s data needs on a group-wide stage, with access to modern tools, a supportive culture, and a clear pathway for future growth.
Company Profile
This organisation is one of the largest and most recognisable names in retail across NZ and AU. With significant investment in their data capability, they’re growing their team to better serve both local and group-wide needs. The business operates in a collaborative, cross-functional model with strong values, and a real focus on simplicity, innovation, and delivery.
You’ll sit in the NZ-based team but work closely with Group Technology – bridging local context with enterprise architecture.
Your Role
As the first NZ-based Group-aligned Senior Data Engineer, you’ll play a key part in evolving the company’s enterprise data platform, helping local teams access insights faster while contributing to the overall roadmap across regions. You’ll collaborate closely with architecture teams, reduce technical debt, and improve visibility through better pipelines and data solutions.
This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role – it’s a hands-on, high-impact position for someone who enjoys shaping architecture, mentoring others, and connecting technical capability with business value.
Your Fit
You’re confident with:
Benefits
- A highly visible role bridging NZ and AU teams, making real impact across a major retail data platform
- A chance to shape architecture, improve performance, and reduce technical debt – not just maintain pipelines
- Generous salary, annual bonus, flexibility, and discounts included
