About the role
The Data Engineer plays a key role in building and scaling Tyro’s Data \& AI Platform, which underpins analytics, machine learning, and emerging AI capabilities across the organisation.
Depending on team needs and individual strengths, this role may focus on delivery-oriented data engineering or platform and enablement engineering, building reusable patterns, reference architectures, and guardrails that enable teams to safely develop data- and AI-driven products.
Working closely with the Data \& AI Platform Manager, Data Engineers design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines, infrastructure, and data products that support business intelligence, analytics, and AI experimentation.
This is a hands-on role combining strong software engineering and data architecture practices with curiosity for applied AI. You will help enable responsible, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions, empowering squads across Tyro to leverage data safely and effectively.
With growing demand and a small, high-impact team, this role is critical to delivering Tyro’s data, AI, and company strategy.

Build and scale Tyro’s Data \& AI Platform
Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines and integrations across the Data \& AI Platform.
Ensure performance, reliability, and observability across the data stack using modern cloud and DevOps practices (AWS, Terraform, CI/CD).
Support the ingestion, transformation, and quality of enterprise data in Snowflake and related storage systems.
Enable AI and advanced analytics
Partner with Product and Engineering teams to operationalise machine learning and generative AI solutions.
Build strong data foundations and features to support LLMs, agentic systems, and AI experimentation.
Design and maintain reusable AI platform patterns, templates, and reference implementations (e.g. training, inference, deployment).
Enable product and application teams to safely deploy AI capabilities independently within defined guardrails.
Collaborate with Cloud Enablement and Architecture teams to ensure AI workloads meet infrastructure and security standards.
Collaborate and deliver impact
Work within cross-functional squads to understand analytics, reporting, and AI needs.

Implement automated testing, version control, and security best practices across all data systems.
What you'll bring
Strong experience with cloud-based data platforms and DevOps practices (AWS, ECS, S3, Lambda, SageMaker, Glue).
Proficiency in data warehouse design and development (e.g., Snowflake).
Experience with data streaming and processing technologies (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis, Spark, Flink).
Strong software engineering foundations - particularly in Python, Scala, Java, or Kotlin - with a focus on testing, performance, and security. Demonstrated ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams to deliver impactful data and AI solutions.
Deep curiosity and passion for AI, machine learning, and data-driven innovation.
Experience operationalising machine learning models or AI services in production environments.
Familiarity with MLOps tooling, feature stores, or vector databases.
Experience developing or supporting dashboards and analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker).
Understanding of data governance, ethical AI, and responsible data use in regulated industries
Experience designing developer enablement platforms, internal tooling, or reusable engineering frameworks is highly regarded.
Performance Indicators
