Description
Do you dream about Data and talk to your friends in SQL? Do you want to inspire and be inspired by working with the best and brightest? Would you rather work for David than Goliath? Atlassian is looking for a Senior Data Warehouse Developer to join our team managing our corporate data warehouse that powers crucial business decisions throughout the organisation.  Position Summary You'll be the genius who understands all the data in Atlassian, knows where to find it and manages our ETL processes that bring the data into our central data warehouse. You'll then use tools and systems to convert that data into useful metrics that people throughout the company can use to track their our corporate success. What you'll do: Working in our Sydney office, you will join our Analytics and Integration development team. You'll learn about all the source systems that feed our data warehouse and the business logic behind our existing data transformations. Then, you'll drive the continuous improvement of the data warehouse by enabling near real-time CDC data updates and detecting errors in the data streams. You'll have the opportunity to design new schemas for the data warehouse that will support other initiatives such as an improved CRM system and automated dashboards. On an on-going basis, you'll be responsible for improving the data warehouse by adding new data sources, coding business rules and producing new metrics that support the business. You'll also work closely with our Java Developers who build and manage Atlassian's e-commerce and customer management systems. Where necessary, you'll use your Java skills to extend the capabilities of our ETL toolset to connect to new systems and technologies and enable an "information bus" used by various IT systems. You'll need to be technical at heart, comfortable with the idea of extending systems by writing code, rather than just relying on in-built functionality. We're looking for someone with variety in their skill-sets. If you've only used one database, one ETL tool and one programming language, then you're probably not right for this role. We're looking for somebody who can demonstrate their willingness to go "outside the box", even if it was just tinkering on your computer at home to connect to weird open-source projects. You don't have to be an expert in all systems, but we'd rather you've had exposure to many things so you can apply best practice for a variety of situations. Who we are looking for: Key Skills Excellent communication skills. You're just as comfortable leading a design session, training new team members and evangelizing data to key users. You're flexible and don't let system limitations stop you from getting things done. You think in SQL. You've explored a variety of database technologies (We primarily use PostgreSQL but also connect to other systems). You have extensive experience with data quality and data-manipulation (ETL) tools that convert data into actionable information. You can empathize with business users and anticipate how they'd like to use information. You're skilled in some scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, Shell, etc.) that you use to supplement system capabilities. You're the type of person that publishes good documentation to help people use the information you provide. Preferred Skills Experience using Pentaho Kettle  You've used version control systems like Git and Subversion. Java development experience for building add-on functionality into the ETL tools Experience retrieving data from remote systems via API calls (eg SOAP, REST) You're personal friends with Kimball and Ross Experience integrating with Salesforce and NetSuite Love going to work?
