Staff Data Engineer - Richmond, Australia - REA Group
Description
We're REA
REA Group is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne's east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.
With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.
Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we're proud to be named in Australia's "Top 5" Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.
Where the team fits in
The Staff Data Engineer role sits in the Property Data teams within the PropTrack line of business, headed up by Kris Matthews.
PropTrack is REA's property data solutions business. The acquisition of Hometrack (now 'PropTrack') by the REA Group in 2018 is part of a strategy to create a 'property data powerhouse'. The capabilities required will underpin REA's market leading position into the future, protect against new market entrants and networks as well as provide a new strategic growth plank for REA Group across Data Solutions, Products, Platforms, Insights and Analytics.
We are the engine room of REA. Our mission is to:

We know diverse teams are critical to maintaining our success and driving new business opportunities. If you've got the skills, dedication and enthusiasm to learn but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.
