Job description

We’re on a mission to become the best specialist lending company in New Zealand and Australia, and we’re looking for ambitious, driven people to help get us there.

We’ve got bold goals and a clear vision for the future. That means exciting opportunities for those ready to champion new ideas, challenge the status quo, and grow alongside us.

If you’re hungry to make an impact, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love turning ideas into action – you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who loves turning raw data into powerful insights that drive smarter decisions. This is your chance to work on meaningful projects, using modern tools and techniques, in a collaborative environment that values innovation.

What you can expect to do as a Senior Data Engineer

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and products that deliver real business value
  • Architect and optimise data ingestion, transformation, and integration processes using cloud-based platforms
  • Automate repetitive tasks to improve productivity and reduce errors
  • Collaborate with analysts, scientists, and governance teams to deliver integrated solutions
  • Deploy curated datasets into production for key business consumers
  • Monitor and support production data products, ensuring reliability and performance
  • Mentor team members and share best practices

What we look for in the experienced candidate :

  • Degree in Computer Science, Data Management, or related field
  • 8+ years’ experience in data engineering
  • Strong SQL and Python skills, with data modelling experience (Kimball, Data Vault 2)
  • Hands‑on experience with Snowflake, Coalesce, and / or dbt
  • Knowledge of Kafka and modern DataOps principles
  • Ability to design and manage complex data pipelines
  • Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams
  • Financial services experience is a bonus
  • What's in it for me?

    Within the Avanti Finance Group, you can look forward to flexible and hybrid working as we offer up to two days working from home following your initial training period. We give back to our communities through our support of Duffy Books, and by offering an Annual Volunteer Day for you to use for a purpose that’s close to your heart. We believe in celebrating diversity, and we also celebrate talent and development by working with you through an established capability framework that puts you in the driving seat of your development while achieving business goals. You won't find a gender pay gap here, as we have great remuneration packages but as we all know there's more to an awesome job than the money. If you are happy and fulfilling your potential, while feeling supported, valued and empowered, then that’s a win for us! Fresh fruit, Healthy Food Guide Memberships, and increased Kiwisaver match is there for you to feel good from the inside out.

    Even as we scale, our values remain our compass :

  • People First : We care deeply – for our team, our customers, our partners, and our communities. This is a place where you’re supported to show up as yourself and do your best work.
  • Relentlessly Helpful : We roll up our sleeves and make things happen. Whether it’s helping a customer, an introducer, a teammate, or your own career, we’re here to make the impossible possible.
  • Do What’s Right : No shortcuts. No ego. Just doing the right thing, every time. Trust and transparency are at the heart of how we do business.
  • We’re building a workplace where people are challenged, supported, and inspired to do their best work – because when our people thrive, so does our business.

    At Avanti, you’ll be joining a team that’s as ambitious as it is grounded in purpose. We’re not just growing fast – we’re growing to be the best.

    Come be part of something that’s making a real difference.
