The role involves designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines for analytics, ensuring data quality and reliability, and mentoring other engineers. Requires collaboration with various teams to translate domain requirements into data systems.
Electricity grids are undergoing the most significant transformation in a century. The shift to renewables, the proliferation of rooftop solar, batteries, and EVs, and the increasing complexity of distribution networks are forcing utilities to operate their grids in fundamentally new ways.
Gridsight builds the analytics platform that makes this possible. We're already embedded with most of Australia's major distribution networks and have contracts with some of the largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. We're well-funded, growing quickly, and positioned at the centre of a global shift toward dynamic grid management.
The RoleWe're hiring a Senior to Staff-level Data Engineer to build and evolve the data layer that powers our grid analytics products.
This is a hands-on data engineering role. You'll design pipelines, write transformations, and ship data that downstream consumers — data scientists, product engineers, and analysts — depend on daily.
What You'll Do- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that transform and serve data for analytics and platform features
- Ensure data quality, reliability, and observability across the pipelines and models you own
- Collaborate with Data Science, Product Management, Software Engineering and Design to understand domain requirements and translate them into robust data structures and systems
- Establish data engineering standards — modelling conventions, testing practices, documentation, and observability
- Identify and address data technical debt, particularly where poor abstraction is creating complexity downstream
- Mentor other engineers on data modelling, pipeline design, and transformation architecture
- 5+ years of data engineering experience with demonstrated impact at Staff or Senior level
- Strong experience building and maintaining production data pipelines at scale
- Strong data modelling fundamentals — dimensional modelling (Kimball), relational theory, and a clear sense of when to apply different techniques
- Hands-on experience designing layered transformation architectures (staging, intermediate, mart patterns) in production
- Experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks
- Solid software engineering fundamentals: version control, testing, code review, CI/CD
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and workflows
- Experience working closely with downstream consumers and designing data that serves their needs
- A track record of bringing structure and clarity to complex or messy data landscapes
- Experience in energy, utilities, or grid technology
- Experience building data products with defined consumers, SLAs, and quality contracts
- Time-series data or operational analytics experience
- Background in data mesh principles or domain-oriented data architecture
- Experience with distributed systems or stream processing
- Experience with modern data orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect)
- Cloud data infrastructure depth (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Remote-first, with head office in Sydney
- A talented team of engineers, data scientists, and power systems specialists working on hard problems that matter

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
