• Designs, build, and maintain batch and (as needed) streaming data pipelines using Databricks
• Develops and optimize ETL/ELT workflows using PySpark / Spark SQL and Databricks workflows/jobs.
• Implements data modeling (bronze/silver/gold patterns), curation, and dataset publishing for analytics and consumption.
• Tunes and optimize Spark jobs for performance, cost, and scalability (partitioning, file sizing, caching, joins, etc.).
• Ensures strong data quality through validations, reconciliations, monitoring, and alerting.
• Works with stakeholders (data analysts, data scientists, product, and engineering teams) to translate requirements into data solutions.
• Implements and follow CI/CD and SDLC practices for data engineering code (testing, code reviews, version control).
• Supports production operations: incident triage, root-cause analysis, and pipeline reliability improvements.
• Contributes to documentation, standards, and reusable frameworks to improve team productivity.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience
• Hands-on experience in Data Engineering
• Strong experience with Databricks (jobs/workflows, notebooks, clusters, performance tuning).
• Proficiency in Python and SQL; strong hands-on in PySpark/Spark SQL
• Experience in Data modeling, ETL/ELT, performance tuning, data quality, monitoring, troubleshooting.
• Solid understanding of data pipeline architecture, orchestration concepts, and dependency management.
• Experience working with data lakes/lakehouse storage patterns and file formats (e.g., Parquet).
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows and engineering best practices.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• AI/ML exposure as an added advantage experience supporting ML workflows by building feature datasets, training/serving data pipelines, or enabling model monitoring and experimentation (e.g., working with data scientists on reproducible data inputs, feature engineering, and ML-ready tables).

• Familiarity with ML ecosystem/tools is a plus (examples: MLflow, Databricks model registry, notebooks-based experimentation), and understanding of basic ML concepts (training vs inference, leakage, drift).

  Experience with Delta Lake features (ACID tables, time travel, optimization).

• Exposure to streaming (e.g., Spark Structured Streaming) and event-driven patterns.

  Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and cloud storage integrations.

• Knowledge of data governance, access controls, and secure handling of sensitive data.

  Familiarity with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow or similar) and supporting production-grade data platforms (monitoring, SLAs, on-call rotations).
