Pasig, National Capital Region, Philippines First Focus IT Full time ₱60,000 - ₱120,000 per year

Let's be real: most "data jobs" sound like glorified spreadsheet babysitting. This isn't that. We're looking for a Data Specialist who can wrestle messy data into submission, build pipelines that never hiccup, and quietly make everyone else's dashboards look good. You'll design and automate the systems that keep data flowing clean, fast, and trustworthy across our clients' environments.

If you've ever yelled "it worked in dev" at 2 a.m., only to fix it before anyone noticed—welcome home.

About First Focus

First Focus is Australia's best Managed Service Provider (MSP), with 330+ technical professionals across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. For more than 15 years we've been growing, delivering, and keeping things refreshingly drama-free. We hire smart people, trust them to do their jobs, and back them with real training, not just "online learning access."

We're proud of our Filipino team—they're some of the sharpest humans we've got. You'll be joining that crew, working on complex, high-impact systems while enjoying a culture that actually values you (and your merienda breaks).

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain reliable data pipelines, warehouses, and ETL processes across Azure and on-prem

  • Engineer solutions with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, and SQL

  • Automate everything you can with Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Explore vector databases and support LLM data pipelines when needed
  • Contribute to Azure Datafoundry discussions and architecture POCs
  • Collaborate with devs, analysts, and cloud engineers to keep data healthy and scalable
  • Monitor, optimise, and occasionally save the day when a query goes rogue

Requirements

  • 5+ years in data engineering, data management, or warehousing
  • Strong experience with Azure Data services, ETL frameworks, and SQL optimisation
  • Familiarity with data pipelines for LLMs or vector store management (nice-to-have)
  • Awareness of Azure Datafoundry (bonus points)
  • Scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, or similar
  • Experience with Terraform, Ansible, and DevOps pipelines
  • Background in a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or multi-client setup preferred
  • Pride in documentation, because "it's in my head" isn't a strategy

Benefits

We treat our people like grown-ups and reward them like professionals:

  • Hybrid setup from our Ortigas office, or fully remote if you're outside Metro Manila
  • Standard AU shift, weekends off
  • HMO from day one, plus one dependent covered
  • Access to Uprise for 1:1 coaching with psychologists or counsellors
  • 10 paid study days per year and certification exam fees covered
  • Pay rise for earning certifications (conditions apply)
  • 25 days paid leave annually
  • ₱20,000 referral bonus and ₱10,000 MVP Award
  • Profit sharing and loyalty bonuses
  • Regular social events, team lunches, and zero forced karaoke (unless you start it)

Why First Focus

  • Hybrid work | Regular hours | Flexible leave options | High-end office
  • Paid training days | Certifications | Mentoring | Career growth
  • Loyalty profit share | Referral bonuses | A genuinely supportive team

We invest in your growth, promote from within, and give you work that's challenging in a good way—not the "wake up sweating at 3 a.m." way.

Neurodiverse? We've Got You.

We welcome neurodiverse candidates and encourage disclosure so we can tailor the experience to showcase your strengths. Ask for our Neurodiversity Statement—we'd love to support you.
