About the Role
This is a junior role with real ownership. Twelve months in, you'll have shipped Python code that runs in production every day, contributed to the data pipelines behind our reporting, built your first system integrations, and created AI-powered tools your colleagues actually use. You'll work in a small team where questions are encouraged, nothing you build sits on a shelf, and the scope of what you own grows as fast as you do.
What You'll Do
- Write, deploy, and debug Python in production, with guidance early on and increasing ownership as you grow
- Help connect our commerce, ERP, and logistics systems (Shopify, NetSuite, 3PLs, marketplaces) via APIs
- Work on data pipelines end to end: ingestion with Airbyte, transformation in Databricks/Spark, and the SQL modelling underneath our reporting
- Learn how production systems are really run: monitoring, debugging, and helping respond when things break
- Build with AI, for real: LLM-powered tools, agents, and automations that save the wider team hours every week
- Communicate directly with non-technical colleagues across Australia, the US, the UK, and Europe
What You'll Bring
Fundamentals
- Solid Python fundamentals: you've built and debugged things beyond course work, and ideally deployed something real (side projects, internships, and uni capstones all count)
- Working SQL, including confidently joining tables, plus some exposure to, or a strong appetite for, data pipeline tools like Databricks/Spark and Airbyte
- An owner's mindset: you take problems end to end in a small team, and you ask good questions instead of guessing
- Clear communication with non-technical people, and the flexibility to work with colleagues across time zones
- Genuine AI curiosity you've acted on: you already build with LLM tooling, not just talk about it (Anthropic's free certifications are a great signal; things you've shipped are even better)
Nice to Haves
- Exposure to integrating systems via APIs, with commerce or ERP platforms a bonus
- Any experience keeping a live system healthy: monitoring, alerting, debugging
- Power BI (or equivalent BI tooling) and Grafana
- AWS, Cloudflare Workers, MCP/agent frameworks
- Retail or ecommerce domain experience
Must be based in Sydney and able to travel to Zetland a minimum of 3 days per week.
