Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Management, Data Analytics, or related field; equivalent experience will be considered.
• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, data platform engineering, cloud data platforms, software engineering for data systems, or related technology roles.
• Expertise building and optimizing scalable distributed data systems across Databricks, Azure, Spark, SQL-based platforms, cloud storage, and cloud-native data services.
• Advanced proficiency with SQL and a modern programming language such as Python, Scala, or Java, with strong software engineering practices for reusable, testable, and maintainable code.
• Deep experience designing and operating data lakes, lakehouses, data warehouses, hybrid architectures, data pipelines, orchestration frameworks, and enterprise-scale ingestion and transformation patterns.
• Strong hands-on experience with batch, streaming, and near-real-time data processing; ETL/ELT frameworks; data integration; high-volume data movement patterns.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, automation, monitoring, alerting, observability, incident response, root-cause analysis, environment management, and operational excellence practices.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, documentation, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills, with fluency in English.
• Proactive, agile, and self-sufficient mindset, with the ability to work effectively as an expert technical contributor in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, maintain, and optimize core enterprise data platform capabilities supporting scalable data ingestion, processing, storage, transformation, governance, and access across Azure Datalake, Databricks, Snowflake, and related cloud data services.
• Develop reusable data pipelines, engineering frameworks, platform services, templates, automation scripts, and standard patterns that accelerate delivery while reducing operational friction, duplication, and technical risk.
• Architect and implement high-throughput batch, streaming, and near-real-time data processing capabilities using modern data engineering patterns, distributed processing frameworks, orchestration tools, and cloud-native services.
• Optimize Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Synapse, and related platform components for performance, reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, observability, and operational resilience.
• Embed governance, security, quality, lineage, metadata, access controls, auditability, and compliance requirements into platform capabilities and data engineering patterns by design.
• Build and maintain CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, automated testing, monitoring, alerting, deployment, and environment management practices for data platform components and configurations.
• Partner with data engineers, analytics engineers, data product teams, architects, platform teams, and business stakeholders to translate data needs into scalable, reusable, and supportable platform capabilities.
• Troubleshoot complex data pipeline, platform, integration, access, compute, storage, performance, and reliability issues; lead root-cause analysis and drive durable remediation.
• Create documentation, reference implementations, runbooks, standards, and enablement materials that improve developer productivity, self-service adoption, and consistent use of platform capabilities.
• Stay current with modern data platform engineering practices, including lakehouse architectures, distributed systems, data observability, data contracts, metadata-driven automation, FinOps, MLOps enablement, and platform-as-product operating models.
