Work where work matters.

Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's in our DNA.

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

You will join the exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.



Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you’ll be proud to tell your friends about.



Qodea is built for what’s next. An environment where your skills will evolve at the frontier of innovation and AI, ensuring continuous growth and development.



We are looking for a Data Engineer with skills in cloud platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure), SQL and a programming language (python ideally). 

We look for people who embody:
