AI Summary

You will lead the migration of existing ETL/ELT and analytics pipelines to a new Databricks environment while ensuring data parity and quality. Additionally, you will update orchestration, scheduling, and reporting assets to ensure the new pipelines are fully supportable.

This is a remote position.

As a Sr. Data Engineer, you will help us refactor and move the existing ETL/ELT and analytics pipelines into the new environment, migrate the underlying data, and validate that everything lands correctly.

This is hands-on migration work. You'll be working alongside our engineers on well-defined pipelines with clear acceptance criteria, and you'll pick up related migration requests — including dashboard and reporting migrations — as they come up. 

What You’ll Do

  • Work with one of our Staff Data Engineers to understand the migration plan, sequence your work against it, and provide regular progress updates.

  • Refactor existing ETL/ELT code written in PySpark, DABs and dbt from the current Databricks environment to meet the patterns and standards of the new account.

  • Migrate data pipelines and their underlying datasets, including backfills, and validate parity between source and target.

  • Build and run reconciliation checks — row counts, schema conformance, freshness, completeness — to confirm migrated data matches the legacy environment.

  • Migrate dashboards and downstream reporting assets to point at the new datasets, coordinating with the analysts who own them.

  • Update orchestration, scheduling, alerting, and runbooks so migrated pipelines are supportable after cutover.

  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures and data discrepancies during and after cutover.

  • Document what was migrated, what changed, and anything the team needs to know to own it going forward.

  • Take on adjacent migration and data engineering requests as the program evolves.

Salary will be based on the location and experience.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Software Engineering working with production data systems.

  • Strong expertise in SQL and Python for building scalable data pipelines and transformations.

  • Strong familiarity with AI tools like Claude Code / Devin for SW development process

  • Hands-on experience building ELT pipelines using modern cloud data platforms (Databricks experience required).

  • Building robust testing frameworks for Data Migration ( Completeness, Quality etc)

  • Deep experience with dbt, including model development, testing, documentation, and CI/CD integration

  • Experience designing and operating production-grade data pipelines with monitoring and observability.

  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to partner with engineering teams, analysts, and operational stakeholders.

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Prior data or platform migration experience
