Talenza are partnering with WorkCover Queensland to help them build a team for a new greenfield Snowflake data platform. As the Data & Analytics Technical Lead, you'll provide hands-on technical direction, own detailed design decisions and help take the platform from build into production.
What you'll do
- Lead technical design, architecture and implementation across data engineering, analytics and semantic modelling.
- Establish engineering standards for GitHub, CI/CD, testing, automation and release management.
- Steer the delivery partner and coordinate technical decisions with architecture, security, integration and governance teams.
- Ensure solutions are production-ready, scalable, secure and aligned to governance requirements.
- Mentor engineers and help shape the platform roadmap.
What you'll bring
- Extensive enterprise data and analytics experience, including hands-on technical leadership.
- Strong Python and SQL skills, with Airflow and modern cloud data platform experience.
- Snowflake preferred; strong Databricks experience considered.
- Experience with CI/CD, deployment automation, production support and data governance.
- Practical examples of using AI to accelerate engineering delivery-not just generate documentation.
Why join?
- You'll help define the foundations of a major enterprise platform with executive visibility and a "build it, run it" culture.
- Amazing leadership team
- Hybrid working is around 50% in the Brisbane office.
- Permanent Opportunity
