About Dataro

Dataro is an ethically minded SaaS startup using machine learning to help not-for-profits raise more money and do more good. Our platform powers fundraising for organisations around the world, helping them run smarter campaigns and improve donor engagement using data-driven insights.

If you want to build meaningful technology with real social impact - while working in a modern, supportive engineering culture - we'd love to meet you.

The Role

We're looking for a Data Engineer to help build and maintain the data pipelines that power Dataro's platform. Every day we ingest and process hundreds of millions of records from a wide range of fundraising and CRM systems. You'll work alongside senior engineers across our Python backend and AWS infrastructure, learning fast and contributing from day one.

This is a hands-on role where you'll build your skills in a supportive team while shipping meaningful improvements week-to-week.

What You'll Do

• Support the building and maintenance of data pipelines that process and normalise large volumes of records
• Assist with integrations across fundraising, CRM, and adjacent platforms
• Investigate and help resolve data issues across ingestion, transformation, and delivery pipelines
• Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews
• Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to ensure Dataro models run effectively
• Learn and apply engineering best practices with guidance from senior engineers

What You'll Bring

• 2+ years professional experience or equivalent (internships, personal projects, or bootcamps) in data engineering or backend software engineering
• Competent Python and SQL skills (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Familiarity with data pipelines and data processing concepts
• Familiarity with Git and version control
• Eager to learn and comfortable asking questions
• A clear communicator who works well in a team

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

No single person will have all of these - they're opportunities to grow.

• Experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platform
• Exposure to DuckDB, Athena, or similar analytical query engines
• CI/CD pipelines or automated testing
• Experience in the not-for-profit sector

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Work on socially meaningful technology that directly helps charities raise more money.
• Small but high-calibre engineering team - real autonomy, real ownership.
• Modern data stack (Python, Serverless AWS, Postgres, DuckDB, S3, Athena, etc.).
• We want smart engineers who understand how software works at a deep level - and who aren't afraid to use modern AI tools to ship better features faster.
• Flexible working arrangements (WFH + office in Sydney).
• Supportive, transparent, mission-driven culture.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Apply here.
