Job description

At Intrepid Travel we exist to inspire, create, share and lead the best travel experiences ever – for both people and the planet. We've been creating positive change through the joy of travel since 1989, and we’re proud to be a certified B Corp with 1000s of experiences in over 100 countries.

Are you someone who is excited about shaping the data foundations behind the future of adventure travel? At Intrepid we're looking for an experienced Lead Data Engineer to design, build and evolve our enterprise data platform and engineering capability. Working closely with our data team, architects, engineers and senior leaders, you’ll define the direction of our data ecosystem and build a scalable, secure and trusted platform that elevates our analytics, reporting, insights and future AI initiatives.

This is a hybrid role which combines hands-on technical leadership and strategic business partnering, where you’ll drive the modernisation and migration of legacy data systems, establish best practices, and build robust data ingestion, modelling and transformation capabilities. We’re looking for an experienced engineering leader who has proven experience building enterprise-scale data solutions, strong SQL and Python skills, and a track record of successfully building and upgrading legacy data platforms. Most importantly, you’ll take ownership, build strong stakeholder relationships to influence, and be passionate about creating trusted data foundations that enable better commercial decision making.

This is a full-time, permanent position that offers a hybrid work model (2 days from home), based in our centrally located Melbourne HQ on Collins Street.

Some of the experience you’ll bring with you may include:

  • 8+ years’ experience building and leading enterprise-scale data solutions.
  • Proven success designing and delivering modern cloud-based data platforms.
  • Experience across the full data lifecycle, from ingestion and transformation through to analytics and consumption.
  • Experience with modern cloud data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery or equivalent technologies.
  • Experience with data platform migration, CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring and infrastructure-as-code.

Our people reflect the diversity of our customers and the communities we visit:

Intrepid is made up of 71 nationalities in over 30 countries, and we recognise that diversity makes us a stronger business. We support a culture where people can be themselves and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. Including First Nations People, LGBTQI+ people, those living with a disability, or from disadvantaged backgrounds, and all people from different ethnicities, races, and religions.

Rewarding and developing our people is important to us, some of our work perks include:

  • Flexible work arrangements, work-from-home and the ability to 'work from anywhere' 4 weeks a year
  • A free Intrepid trip every year, plus generous discounts for families, and close friends
  • 5 extra days of leave a year for use on Intrepid trips
  • A minimum of 10 weeks paid parental leave for all parents, and other additional leave provisions.
  • Access to e-learning platforms, professional development and mentor programs
  • 20 hours of volunteer leave every year to use on causes most important to you
  • Employee Assistance Program, a 24/7 service that offers counselling for you and your family

We are Real. Together. Ambitious. Impactful. These are our values and to us they're more than just words, they are the pillars of our success and every day it's our people and the work they do that bring them to life.
