    What’s in it for you?

    • Permanent role with long-term career growth
    • Location: Double Bay
    • Hybrid Working arrangement
    • Opportunity to design secure, high-performance platforms for a global security firm protecting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, billionaires, and celebrities
    • Work on cutting-edge data fabric/mesh architectures, Azure cloud engineering, and AI/LLM integrations

    Role

    We are seeking a skilled Data Professional with strong communication skills and technical expertise to design and implement intelligent data systems.

    In this role, you’ll help build out advanced data functionality—including facial recognition, Power Platform development, and data mesh architectures—to create secure platforms that seamlessly monitor, process, and deliver mission-critical information.

    This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping the technology that supports one of the world’s most exclusive security firms.


    Key Responsibilities

    • Design and code high-throughput AI agents, implemented as .NET microservices with REST and MCP endpoints, as well as connection-oriented communication (WebSockets, gRPC, SignalR).
    • Apply Domain-Driven Design to model business domains, partition bounded contexts, and manage event/message flows.
    • Embed LLM capabilities (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, etc.)—including vector storage, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation.
    • Deploy rapidly to cloud or on-prem environments using Docker, Kubernetes/Service Fabric/Dapr, and automate with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
    • Collaborate closely with data science, product, and SRE teams; mentor junior/mid-level engineers; and uphold engineering excellence


    What You’ll Need

    Essential Criteria

    • Proven experience with Power Platform / Power Apps development
    • Expertise in Domain-Driven Design encapsulation and bounded contexts within Dataverse
    • Strong API and integration development experience
    • Hands-on experience with data engineering and architecture, specifically data fabric / data mesh architectures
    • Azure expertise, including architecting and deploying infrastructure
    • Cloud & Containers – Docker, Kubernetes/Service Fabric, etc.
    • CI/CD & IaC – pipelines with GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation)

    Highly Preferred

    • Familiarity with Agentic-Communication Frameworks (e.g., Anthropic’s MCP or similar paradigms)
    • Performance & Observability skills (profiling, async optimization, distributed tracing, metrics)
    • Strong security & compliance knowledge – OWASP Top 10, OAuth2/OIDC, KMS/secrets, GDPR/SOC2/HIPAA
    • Collaboration & leadership skills – leading design reviews, coaching peers, and translating technical trade-offs to stakeholders


    Talented, committed, can-do individuals have always been the cornerstone of this dynamic organisation. If you have what it takes to thrive in this role and want to know more, please reach out to Isha Khanna at isha.khanna@akkodis.com
