ZURU, Auckland | New Zealand
As a Data & AI Engineer, you'll own data pipelines that power real business decisions across ZURU's global operations. Working with Databricks, dbt, Fivetran and AWS, you'll design and run production systems end to end, from ingestion through to the models the business actually reports on. You'll take full ownership of your domains and help shape how the platform evolves.
This role sits at the centre of data-driven decision-making at ZURU. You'll build reliable, well-modelled data products, drive up data quality, and make the platform easier and safer for everyone to build on. Your work determines whether commercial, marketing and logistics teams can trust and act on their numbers, and you'll have a direct hand in the direction of ZURU's data platform and AI capability.
This isn't a 9-to-5. We move fast, think big and set goals most companies would call impossible, then go after them. The people who thrive here are entrepreneurs at heart. They own their work, chase bold ideas and never stop raising the bar.
At ZURU, you drive your career, and we give you the platform to take it as far as you can. There are opportunities here that you won’t find anywhere else, and you'll be surrounded by talented people who make things happen. We're a true meritocracy: we reward impact, not tenure.
OWN THE DATA PLATFORM BEHIND A GLOBAL BUSINESS, SHAPE HOW ZURU USES DATA AND AI, AND BUILD SYSTEMS THAT DIRECTLY DRIVE REAL-WORLD DECISIONS.
ZURU is a reimagination company. We look for categories that have stood still, then we build next-generation products and brands that set the new standard. ZURU Toys is reimagining play. ZURU Edge is reinventing everyday consumer brands. Rhodes Pet Science is reimagining pet science. ZURU Tech is leading the next building revolution.
ZURU started in 2003 with two brothers from New Zealand, and we're still founder-owned and operated today. Since then we've become the world's second-biggest privately held toy company, and nearly half of all Gen Y and Gen Z households with kids in the US own a ZURU product. Today we're 5,000 people in 34 offices, selling into more than 150 markets, backed by over 100 acres of fully automated manufacturing. And we're only getting started.
Big ideas happen when great people work side by side, so we're office-first by design. Being together means faster collaboration, sharper decisions and stronger teams, and it's where the real learning happens. Some flexibility may be available depending on the role, location and business needs, but most roles are office-based.
