Build modern data solutions. Lead client outcomes. Help grow our Queensland capability.
At Altis Consulting, we're looking for a hands-on Data Engineer who enjoys being close to both the technology and the client.
This is a role for someone who can take a business problem, shape the right technical approach, and lead it through to a practical outcome. You'll work across modern data platforms and engineering solutions while building trusted relationships with clients and helping develop the consultants around you.
What you'll do
- Design scalable data platforms, pipelines, integration and analytics solutions.
- Work across modern cloud technologies including Databricks, Snowflake and the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem.
- Translate complex business requirements into clear technical solutions.
- Guide and mentor consultants and contribute to a strong engineering culture.
- Build trusted relationships with technical and business stakeholders.
- Identify opportunities to create additional value for clients and contribute to proposals and solution shaping.
What you'll bring
You'll have strong experience across data engineering, architecture or analytics consulting and be comfortable operating directly with clients.
We're particularly interested in experience across:
- Modern data engineering and data modelling
- Cloud data platforms - Databricks, Snowflake, Azure or comparable technologies
- Databricks experience essential
- SQL and modern data integration/ELT patterns
- Data quality, governance and sustainable engineering practices
- Leading projects or small technical teams
- Consulting, advisory or client-facing delivery
You don't need to have worked with every technology we use. We're more interested in strong foundations, sound technical judgement and an ability to learn.
The person we're looking for
You enjoy solving ambiguous problems, can challenge thinking respectfully and know when a technically impressive solution isn't necessarily the right business solution.
You'll be comfortable talking architecture with engineers one minute and explaining the value of the solution to an executive stakeholder the next.
Why Altis?
For more than 25 years, Altis has focused on one thing: helping organisations create better outcomes through data.
We're Australian-owned and technology-agnostic, which means our consultants can focus on solving the right problem rather than selling a particular platform.
At Altis you'll have the opportunity to:
- Work across varied and challenging Data & AI engagements
- Learn from experienced specialists across consulting, engineering, analytics and AI
- Build your capability through ongoing learning and career development
- Work in a collaborative environment where you're encouraged to challenge ideas and contribute your own
- Work flexibly through our hybrid model
- Access health and wellbeing support for you and your family
- Access paid parental leave and our reward and recognition program
Our values — Be Curious, Own It, Lead with Heart and Discover a Way — shape how we work with our clients and with each other.
Your next move doesn't need to tick every box
If the role sounds like the direction you want your career to take but you don't meet every requirement listed, we'd still encourage you to apply.

What We Do
Altis is the largest and most experienced Data and Analytics consulting firm in Australia and New Zealand, with over 150 permanent staff, focused on delivering tangible business outcomes. Altis was founded in 1998 by Hyun Choi and Gavin Cooke, with a vision to grow a living company that would continue to be prosperous in the face of whatever the future held. They were not building a business to sell, rather they were fostering a culture that could grow with the modern world. And as Altis did grow, its core ethos developed out of this family foundation. ‘Connecting with Courage, Heart, and Insight’ became the central framework for how Altis operated. In simple terms, it meant a commitment to our team, our clients and our community. Our drive came from building lasting relationships, sharing responsibility and reaching goals together. Even as we’ve continued to expand into Data and Analytics, we’ve held onto this ethos, always putting people first, business second. At Altis, what we provide is ongoing; a permanent seat at the table with equal share in every conversation. We will connect you to thought leaders in the industry, who will provide their insights into your problems. Altis nurtures lifelong learning in all of our team members because we know that a happy, engaged team means happy, loyal customers, which spells success for both of us. This is the belief that Altis was founded on, the way that we work now, and the way we will continue to work in the years to come. Over the last 25 years, Altis has delivered a variety of projects ranging from Strategies to Delivery to Managed Services for clients in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Auckland and London. In addition to local success, Altis has been recognised worldwide including being published in CIO Magazine in the UK, DM Review and by its exclusive partnership with Kimball University and Stephen Few.
