About the role:

We’re looking for a versatile engineer who can move fluidly between leading cloud and data solutions, and who enjoys solving end-to-end technical problems in complex client environments.

As a DiUS consultant, you’ll design and deliver high-quality solutions for a wide range of clients. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll move between application development and data strategy / architecture, depending on the problem we’re solving. One engagement might see you building APIs or digital products; the next could involve developing cloud-native data pipelines or modern data platforms. You’re excited by variety and understand how strong software and strong data foundations work together to create real business impact.

Beyond designing purposeful solutions and writing great code, you’ll work closely with clients to understand their needs, ask the right questions, shape smart solutions, and leave them with sustainable, scalable technology practices.

DiUS is an Australian B2B technology services company with an excellent reputation as a trusted consulting partner.

Whether your experience is from consulting, or working across multiple projects, you have a natural leadership style that builds trust with the people you work with.
