The posting

Company Description

We’re Jetstar. You may know us for our famous low fares, but did you also know that we’ve flown more than 400 million customers since we launched in Australia in 2004? In fact, each week we operate around 3,000 flights to nearly 40 destinations across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific. We also operate a fleet of more than 80 aircraft, including state-of-the-art Airbus A320/21 NEO aircraft and the Airbus A320 family and Boeing 787-8s. Every day we enable more people to takeoff to more places, more often.

Impressive numbers? What's even more impressive is the team of extraordinary people taking off together day in day out, flight after flight.

Our people are the real jet stars!

Job Description

  • Lead the engineering capability behind Jetstar’s enterprise data platform
  • Shape the reliability, scalability and evolution of the platforms that power data, analytics and automation across the business
  • Full-time opportunity based in Melbourne, with hybrid working arrangements

Love travel and passionate about all things aviation. You’re in the right place. At Jetstar, you get to takeoff at work, and in life.

As a team, we’re lucky we get to do both for a living – and we want you to be part of where we go next. Helping our teammates soar is what we’re all about. And with a new fleet of state-of-the-art aircraft, plus new routes being added, the sky’s the limit.

Takeoff with your next opportunity

As the Platform Engineering & Modelling Lead, you’ll lead the engineering and modelling capability behind Jetstar’s enterprise data platform, ensuring the technology that supports data, analytics, data science and automation across the organisation is reliable, resilient, secure and cost-effective.

Leading teams across platform engineering, data and operations engineering, and modelling and transformation, you’ll set the technical direction and engineering standards for the domain while developing a strong, high-performing engineering capability.

You’ll oversee the operation and ongoing evolution of our cloud data environment, including Snowflake and Amazon Web Services, with accountability spanning data pipelines, transformation, modelling, platform performance, resilience, technical debt and cost. You’ll also play a critical role in technical incident management, disaster recovery and ensuring the platform can continue to scale with the needs of the business.

This is a senior technical leadership role suited to someone who combines deep data engineering expertise with strong people leadership and operational accountability. You’ll be comfortable remaining close enough to the technology to make and challenge complex technical decisions, while leading specialist engineers and translating technical, risk and cost considerations for senior stakeholders.

To be considered for this role, key skills will include:

  • Extensive hands-on experience in cloud data platform and data engineering, ideally within Snowflake environments alongside strong exposure to AWS
  • Proven experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams, including permanent, offshore and contingent workforces, with the ability to build technical capability and develop specialist talent
  • Strong experience in data modelling and transformation, including practical experience with dbt, engineering standards, automated testing, version control and release disciplines
  • Demonstrated accountability for platform reliability and resilience, including technical incident leadership, disaster recovery, capacity planning and data quality
  • Strong understanding of DevOps and MLOps environments, with the technical credibility to lead and guide specialists across these disciplines
  • Strong commercial and stakeholder capability, with experience managing cloud consumption costs, vendors and technology partners, and communicating complex technical decisions to senior and non-technical stakeholders

Your life at Jetstar is unlike any other

Live the travel dream: You and your nominated travel companions can takeoff more with our famous Qantas Group Staff Travel discount.

Make work feel like a holiday: Join a fun, driven team where work feels like a holiday. Our people take every opportunity to takeoff together and find ways to help their teammates soar.

There’s a place for everyone at Jetstar: For us, travel and meeting new people go hand in hand. We invite our people to get involved in various Employee Network Groups that play an important role in creating our inclusive and supportive culture that we are fiercely proud of. We believe that teams with a diversity of ideas and experiences are more creative, innovative and solve problems quickly. We welcome applications from anyone who wants to takeoff with us. If you have support or access requirements, just reach out and let us know what you need.

We’re Jetstar. Let’s takeoff together.

We can’t wait to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
