About Us
Adaptiv is a Kiwi success story with a growing presence across Australia and New Zealand. We specialise in integration, data and analytics, AI consulting and cloud solutions, helping organisations modernise their technology environments and unlock greater value from their data.
Our teams work with leading technologies including Databricks, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, MuleSoft, Boomi and Solace to solve complex business and technology challenges.
What sets Adaptiv apart is our combination of deep technical capability and genuine consulting expertise. We work closely with our clients to understand their challenges, design pragmatic solutions and deliver technology that creates meaningful business outcomes.
As our Australian Data Practice continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer / Data Consultant to join our team in Melbourne or Brisbane.
About the Role
This is a senior, hands-on consulting role for someone who combines strong Data Engineering capability with the confidence to work directly with clients.
You'll help design, build and deliver modern data platforms and engineering solutions, with a particular focus on Databricks and cloud-based data architectures.
You'll work across client engagements, collaborating with architects, consultants and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable, production-ready data solutions.
This isn't a role where you'll simply provide technical oversight. You'll remain close to the technology — designing solutions, building pipelines, writing code, solving complex engineering problems and helping ensure the quality of what we deliver.
You'll also play an important role in supporting and mentoring other engineers as our Data Practice continues to grow across Australia.
What You'll Be Doing
What You'll Bring
We're looking for someone with a strong Data Engineering foundation who is equally comfortable building solutions and engaging with clients.
Ideally, you'll bring:
Exposure to Microsoft Fabric and the wider Microsoft Data ecosystem would be advantageous but isn't essential.
Relevant Databricks, Azure or other cloud certifications are highly regarded, along with a demonstrated commitment to ongoing professional development.
The Person We're Looking For
Technical capability matters, but we're looking for more than someone who can build a pipeline.
You'll enjoy working with customers, asking the right questions and understanding the problem behind the technical requirement.
You'll be comfortable taking ownership of your work, making pragmatic engineering decisions and explaining those decisions clearly to others.
You'll enjoy helping other engineers develop and won't be afraid to challenge an approach when you believe there's a better way.
Most importantly, you'll want to remain hands-on while continuing to grow as a consultant and senior technical professional.
Why Adaptiv?
You'll join a growing Data Practice where you'll have the opportunity to influence how we deliver, not simply inherit established processes.
You'll work with modern technologies, interesting clients and experienced people across Data, Integration, Cloud and AI.
We offer an environment where technical curiosity is encouraged, good ideas are heard and people are trusted to take ownership.
If you're an experienced Data Engineer looking for a role that combines hands-on Databricks engineering, client engagement and genuine consulting responsibility, we'd love to hear from you.
