We have offices in Australia, India, South Africa, the UK, the EU and the USA.
We’re looking for Data Architects with proven senior-level experience to join the Equal Experts network.

You will give consideration to multiple aspects including client standards, delivery, scalability, security, regulation and TCO.
This role involves working in teams that use modern agile technical practices - including continuous integration and deployment and fast feedback loops - to deliver timely and pragmatic solutions, as well as helping others to do their jobs in a more effective way.
