Introduction:
Bindaree Food Group is one of Australia's largest privately owned beef processing and value-adding businesses. Our Azure data platform carries the reporting that runs the Group - livestock, production, finance, workforce, safety and commercial and exchanges data daily with our major grocery customers.
We are looking for a Data & Integration Engineer to own it. You will report directly to the Chief Information Officer, and the data team is being built around this role.
Description:
What you'll be doing:
- Own a production Azure integration estate - 20+ Logic Apps (Standard), 200+ workflows, supported by Azure Functions.
- Administer and tune Azure SQL Managed Instance across roughly 25 databases.
- Maintain EDI and file exchange with our major grocery customers.
- Lead the migration from Azure Analysis Services to Microsoft Fabric.
- Build Power BI semantic models and set the standards the team builds to.
- Introduce source control and automated deployment.
- Make sure the platform underneath our AI work is governed and trustworthy.
Skills and Experiences:
What you will bring:
- Five or more years in data engineering, integration engineering or BI development.
- Strong, current, hands-on Azure - Logic Apps or a comparable integration platform, Azure Functions, Azure SQL.
- Deep SQL and T-SQL, including performance tuning.
- Proven Power BI - DAX, data modelling, semantic models and workspace administration.
- Microsoft Entra ID, managed identities and Key Vault.
- Integration patterns in production - SFTP, EDI, REST, queueing and incremental loads.
- The judgement and self-sufficiency to own a production platform.
Not essential, but nice to have experience with:
Microsoft Fabric. Azure DevOps, Bicep or Terraform. Food manufacturing, agribusiness or FMCG. Plant, SCADA or weighing data. Applied AI on operational data.
Why this opportunity?
- Genuine ownership of the Group's data platform, and a path to lead the team.
- Our data is already consolidated and ready - the AI work starts now, not in a strategy document.
- A privately owned Australian business where decisions get made quickly and you will see your work used on the floor.
