Consultant- GCP Data Engineer

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.

We’re looking for a GCP Data Engineer, based in Sydney, who can design and deliver modern, scalable data solutions on Google Cloud Platform and across multi-cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure). This role has a strong focus on GCP-native data services, while remaining flexible across modern data stacks as required by our clients.

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 cloud data engineering capability.

This role is ideal for someone who loves solving complex engineering problems, thrives in cloud-native ecosystems, and wants to work in a high-performing team doing meaningful, future-shaping work.

• Design, build, and optimise scalable data platforms and pipelines on Google Cloud Platform
• Develop robust ingestion, transformation, and orchestration pipelines using BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Dataproc, Composer, and related GCP services
• Build high-quality data models to support analytics, reporting, and AI/ML use cases
• Implement modern data architecture patterns, including lakehouse and ELT/ETL approaches
• Collaborate closely with clients to translate business requirements into well-architected, actionable data solutions
• Support or implement dbt, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and data engineering best practices
• Ensure strong data quality, governance, lineage, security, and performance optimisation within GCP environments
• Work alongside analytics, governance, and AI consultants to deliver cohesive, end-to-end solutions
• Contribute to reusable assets, accelerators, and internal frameworks that strengthen Intelligen’s GCP capability

• 4–6+ years’ experience in data engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform, particularly BigQuery and cloud-native data services
• Experience designing and building production-grade data pipelines on GCP
• Strong SQL skills and experience building complex data transformations
• Familiarity with modern data stacks e.g. Composer, BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake, dbt
• Experience working across the full data lifecycle: ingestion, transformation, modelling & consumption
• Knowledge of DevOps concepts, version control, and CI/CD in data environments
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills

We’re not just delivering AI and data projects.. we’re humanising them. That means we care deeply about the how, not just the what. We value curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. We look for people who are driven to build a business, get curious, and offer opinions and ideas.

You’ll join a team that’s smart, kind, and ambitious. You’ll have real influence - in your projects, your practice, and the broader business. And as we grow, so will you.

Here’s what that looks like:

Grow With Purpose

• Structured development pathways so you always know what you’re working toward.
• Paid certifications across all major cloud and data technologies — because mastery matters
• Weekly training, guilds and knowledge exchanges where practitioners share real project insights.
  

Support That Helps You Thrive

• A dedicated support lead to mentor, guide and help you navigate your career
• Regular 360° feedback loops, giving you clear direction and honest insight into your progress.
  

A Community You’ll Enjoy Being Part Of

• Innovation days where you can experiment, prototype and sharpen new skills.
• Team days, social catchups,  many new community clubs…
• Opportunities to lead, influence and shape our growing practice as we expand across the region.
