Ready to make a real impact?

Join our Technology team and lead the evolution of data architecture across Alinta Energy. You will create a common enterprise data model, shape modern cloud and integration patterns, and work across Databricks, analytics and AI to turn complex business needs into practical, scalable solutions.

Why you’ll love working here

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver reliable and sustainable energy for Australia — and that practical approach runs through everything we do. You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference. We’re big enough to create impact, but small enough that your ideas and effort will always be seen.

There are plenty of other great benefits of working for Alinta Energy, including flexible working, energy discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a paid volunteer day each year, fully stocked kitchens, and lots more.

What you’ll do

• Leading the enterprise data architecture roadmap, standards, reference architectures and integration patterns
• Building and driving adoption of Alinta Energy’s common enterprise data model, beginning with the customer data model
• Designing practical solutions across Databricks, data lakes, integration, master data management, real-time processing, analytics and AI
• Guiding solutions through architecture governance while aligning cybersecurity, information classification, retention and regulatory requirements
• Partnering with architecture, engineering, analytics and business teams to challenge assumptions, build consensus and translate strategy into deliverable solutions.

As the Data Domain Expert, you will:

• Provide thought leadership and strategic direction across Alinta's data landscape.
• Advise the organisation on the evolution and future readiness of data capabilities, platforms, governance, and practices.
• Partner with business leaders, technology teams, and strategic vendors to shape long-term data outcomes and investment decisions.
• Influence enterprise architecture, analytics, and AI initiatives through deep domain expertise and industry best practice.
• Ensure Alinta's data ecosystem remains scalable, trusted, resilient, and capable of supporting future business and technology needs.

Your experience

• Experience in a senior data, domain, principal or solution architecture role, with the ability to work from enterprise strategy through to detailed solution design
• Hands-on Databricks experience and knowledge of modern data platforms, enterprise data modelling, integration patterns, metadata and data governance
• Experience designing data solutions in complex, regulated environments, with an understanding of risk, security, total cost of ownership and architectural controls
• Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, influence technical and non-technical stakeholders and constructively challenge established approaches
• Curiosity about emerging technology and experience shaping scalable data foundations for analytics, AI and evolving business capability.

Please note this role requires full working rights within Australia.

This role will suit an architect who enjoys getting into the detail, brings a practical and commercially aware approach, and can provide clear direction in a complex stakeholder environment.
