Like any good mission, this one starts with our people.

  • Enable customer and commercial insights through shared analytical data products that underpin dashboards, self-service analytics, advanced analytics, and data science.
  • Mentoring and collaboration with other Data Engineers in the team.
  • Lead the execution of our Analytics Engineering Roadmap, partnering with Technology and Data Platform teams to advance enterprise capabilities.
  • Contribute to new revenue initiatives across Virgin Australia, Velocity Frequent Flyer, and our commercial partners.

  • 8–10 years of experience developing analytical solutions within large relational database environments
  • 5+ years working with complex customer data and building data solutions that solve real business problems
  • 3+ years’ experience with event and customer interaction data and / or streaming sources
  • Demonstrable experience in customer data on large data platform (Relational Database or Cloud Analytics Platform) platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, GCP, AWS, or Azure (strongly preferred)
  • Proven experience building data products, integrating diverse data sources, automating processes, and solving complex data problems
  • A proactive team player with strong data warehousing & data visualization fundamentals.
  • Hands on experience in SQL & Python implementing end-to-end ETL processes.
  • Strong communication skills — able to translate data insights into clear, actionable business outcomes
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to influence and lead across distributed teams, even outside of formal reporting structures
  • What you’ll get from us :

    We’re committed to looking after you, with some of the best benefits and conditions in the industry – including (but not limited to) :

  • Heavily discounted air travel for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
  • Flexible working arrangements (including work hours and work from home)

  • Dress for Your Day – enjoy the freedom to wear whatever is appropriate for the type of work you do and the day you have ahead of you
  • Flexible working arrangements and periodic work travel
  • Equality rules :

    We’re all individuals. We love that. That’s why we encourage applications from Indigenous Australians, people with disability, those from diverse cultural backgrounds, our friends in the LGBTQI+ community, and anyone else who wants to join our family.
