ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Data Engineer to build batch and streaming pipelines on Databricks using PySpark and Delta Lake. This person migrates legacy data warehouse and ETL workloads onto a governed Lakehouse, modeling a medallion architecture that powers analytics and AI use cases. Strong SQL, Python, and experience with Unity Catalog governance round out the role.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Design, build, and operate batch and streaming data pipelines on Databricks using PySpark, Delta Lake, and Databricks Workflows.
- Model and maintain a medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture serving analytics, reporting, and machine learning consumers.
- Migrate legacy ETL and data warehouse workloads onto the Lakehouse with validated data parity and minimal business disruption.
- Use Claude or GitHub Copilot as a development accelerator, generating code scaffolding, writing and reviewing tests, creating documentation, and prototyping solutions.
- Write clean, well-tested Python and SQL; maintain high standards through code review and documentation.
- Optimize Spark jobs and Delta tables for performance and cost, including partitioning, clustering, caching, and cluster sizing.
- Implement data quality, lineage, and governance controls using Unity Catalog and automated validation checks.
- Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve pipeline failures, data defects, and production incidents.
- Participate in Agile or product-centric delivery practices, including sprint planning and retrospectives.
- Collaborate with DevOps, platform, and analytics engineers on observability, security, and compliance best practices.
MUST HAVES
- 4+ years of professional experience in data engineering, featuring direct expertise with Apache Spark and cloud-based data architectures.
- Strong hands-on experience building data pipelines with Databricks, Apache Spark (PySpark), and Delta Lake.
- Advanced SQL and Python, with strong data modeling skills across dimensional and Lakehouse patterns.
- Experience with streaming ingestion using Structured Streaming, Auto Loader, Kafka, or Event Hubs.
- Experience with workflow orchestration (Databricks Workflows, Airflow, or Azure Data Factory).
- Experience with legacy platform migrations, ETL modernization, or managing data hygiene when porting old systems.
- Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, including mentoring junior engineers and explaining data concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with Unity Catalog, data governance, access control, and PII handling.
- Experience with dbt or an equivalent transformation framework.
- Familiarity with secure coding standards and industry security best practices.
- Experience delivering production data platforms at scale.
