ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to help modernize a 15-year-old data warehouse into a governed Databricks Lakehouse. You will build batch and streaming pipelines with PySpark and Delta Lake, following a medallion architecture across bronze, silver, and gold layers. This role also uses AI tools like Claude and GitHub Copilot to speed up development.

• 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.

• 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.
