Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Tenzing Limited Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

We're looking for intermediate and senior Data Engineers to join our growing team of consultants.

While experience in the insurance domain is advantageous, it's not essential — we're happy to bring the right person up to speed.

If successful, you'll become part of a collaborative Scrum team delivering large-scale financial and operational reporting solutions. In this role, you'll work end-to-end across ETL processes and report development, ensuring data accuracy and diagnosing variances. You'll also partner closely with client stakeholders and subject matter experts every day to understand their needs and translate complex requirements into actionable insights.

At Tenzing we have a strong business in the implementation of large insurance applications and platforms. We are experts at implementation but also excel at developing and supporting financial and operational reporting of our client sites.

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in data engineering. Industry experience in banking, insurance or utilities is highly desirable
  • Proven hands-on experience with modern data platforms and tools, such as: Snowflake, DBT, Power BI, GIT, Python, Microsoft Azure, AWS or other cloud data-centric technologies
  • Experience with Snowflake, DBT and Azure preferred
  • Solid understanding of data warehousing concepts, data modelling, and strong SQL skills across a range of database technologies
  • A strong foundation in data engineering principles and practices including exposure to DevOps
  • The ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills
  • A proactive, detail-oriented, and client-focused mindset
  • Knowledge and experience of Guidewire BI or Cloud reporting tools would be beneficial
  • Someone looking to grow into team and project technical leadership roles

Why join Tenzing, who are we?

At Tenzing, we've been helping clients scale their mountains for over twenty years. We call it the Sherpa ethos - standing alongside our clients, doing the heavy lifting, and guiding them through complex transformations. As trusted partners in change, we work with some of Australasia's leading organisations to deliver strategic and operational impact across industries.

Tenzing is an independent subsidiary of the Tech Mahindra Group, giving our people access to a global network of expertise and opportunities, while maintaining our well-known Tenzing ways of working and deep understanding of the local context across New Zealand and Australia.

We believe our people are our greatest asset. That's why we invest in tailored career development, mentorship, and a collaborative environment where creativity and professionalism thrive. We also take the time to celebrate our wins, recognising individual and team achievements, and fostering a culture of appreciation and shared success.

Our leadership team is made up of highly experienced professionals who are passionate about what they do. They are deeply knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to empowering their teams, encouraging individuals to take on new challenges, grow their capabilities, and make a meaningful impact.

What we offer:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • Flexible and hybrid working options.
  • Ability to purchase additional annual leave.
  • Life and Income Protection Insurance (fully subsidised)
  • Discounted Medical Insurance
  • Comprehensive Learning & Development programmes
  • Wellbeing support including EAP and flu vaccinations
  • Inclusive culture with regular social events and celebrations

If you're ready to work on meaningful projects, expand your technical toolkit, and grow within a consulting environment, we'd love to hear from you.
