I've got a gig up for grabs for any data nerds in Australia.
A reader at a company where I'm the preferred recruiter has opened up a Super Urgent role for someone with Databricks experience. I can expedite most of the process so it'll be a serious job speedrun. You can live in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, or Brisbane, and the pay is about A$180K to A$185K including superannuation.
The company is Vivanti, and I like everyone there so far.
