At Intelligen, we’re building something different. Over the past three years, we’ve evolved from a bold startup to a trusted partner for some of Australia’s most complex data transformations. We’ve helped organisations move from legacy to modern platforms, embedded governance into decision-making, and brought AI into the hands of the business - responsibly and at speed.
But we’re just getting started. As we move into our next phase of growth, we’re looking for consultants who don’t just want to deliver great solutions - but help shape the future of data and AI capability across Australia.

You’ll work directly with clients to understand their data challenges, architect and build high-quality pipelines, and support analytics, governance, and AI enablement initiatives. This role blends hands-on engineering with consulting - helping clients realise value at pace while contributing to Intelligen’s growing engineering capability.

- Collaborate with clients to translate business requirements into well-structured, actionable data solutions
- Implement data ingestion, transformation, storage, and access layers across multi-cloud environments
- Support or implement dbt, CI/CD, and engineering best practices across projects
- Ensure strong data quality, governance, lineage, and performance practices
- Contribute to reusable components, accelerators, and internal engineering frameworks
- Work closely with cross-functional consultants, analysts, and architects to deliver cohesive solutions
- Mentor junior engineers and positively influence client delivery
What You’ll Bring
- Curiosity and a problem-solving mindset. You enjoy understanding how things work and making them better.
- A commitment to clean, scalable engineering practices and continuous learning
- A collaborative spirit. You enjoy working across teams to deliver real outcomes.The confidence to share ideas, challenge the norm, and help build something better.
Requirements
- 4–6+ years’ experience in data engineering or analytics engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Solid SQL capability and experience building complex data transformations
- Familiarity with modern data stacks - e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Delta Lake, cloud ETL/orchestration tools
- Experience working across the full data lifecycle: ingestion → transformation → modelling → consumption
- Consulting, stakeholder-facing experience, or cross-functional delivery exposure
- Knowledge of DevOps concepts, version control, and/or CI/CD in data environments
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills
- Melbourne-based, with ability to work on-site with clients as required
- A mindset of curiosity, delivery excellence, and continuous learning
