What The Role Is

The Data Office champions the overall HR data strategy for the whole-of-government and PSD. We are responsible for end-to-end solutioning to allow PSD to use data effectively in developing its policies and programmes, as well as to drive adoption and evolution of HR data analytics across the public service.

What You Will Be Working On

The successful candidate will join the Data Engineering team, supporting the maintenance of an existing whole-of-government Public Officer data platform and the development a modernised replacement. This central platform facilitates data exchange between HR systems and downstream applications, consolidating and harmonising data from various sources before distributing it to relevant applications.

The new platform is designed to serve a broad range of use cases — from operational data exchange and analytical reporting and intelligence using AI and machine learning applications. Working within an Agile development framework, the role encompasses:

BAU Operations and Enhancements to an Existing Platform

• Manage day-to-day platform operations, including system monitoring, incident response, and data quality checks across ingestion and processing pipelines
• Partner with upstream system and downstream owners to investigate and resolve data errors, map harmonisation requirements, and maintain data integrity across the architecture
• Support system enhancements by reviewing Change Requests and Service Requests, developing UAT plans, and coordinating testing across operational workstreams
• Review existing workflows and design, develop, and implement automation processes to enhance operational efficiency. Optimize existing automation scripts and Power Automate workflows for routine tasks including data investigations, validation, patching, and operational data processing.
• Manage audit queries and ensure compliance with relevant governance frameworks and data management standards
  
  Development of a Modernised Data Platform
• Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of scalable data pipelines on a new data platform, applying medallion data lakehouse architecture principles to ensure clear data lineage and traceability
• Translate business and data requirements into clear data specifications and functional designs — covering data models, pipeline logic, and API requirements — to guide developers in building solutions that enable downstream consumers across operational systems, analytical tools, and AI applications to access governed, consumption-ready data. A working understanding of how these technical components function will be an advantage.
• Support the preparation and design of standardised datasets for consumers’ needs, and contribute to technical design reviews covering schema design, pipeline logic, and data access controls
• Engage with stakeholders — including business users, data and system engineers, IT vendors, business analysts, and system owners — to capture requirements and translate them into comprehensive data specifications
• Provide inputs to strategic planning and modernisation initiatives for the platform where relevant
