Job summary

Accenture in the Philippines is seeking a data engineer to design, develop, and maintain scalable data solutions. You will build ETL/ELT pipelines with Databricks, Delta Lake, Auto Loader, and DLT, using Python and PySpark to transform and validate data across cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).

You will implement data governance with Unity Catalog, create modular dbx functions, and enable secure data access across domains while integrating BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.

Qualifications

• Design, develop and maintain data solutions for data generation, collection, and processing.
• Create data pipelines, ensure data quality, and implement ETL processes to migrate and deploy data across systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality, scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks technologies including Delta Lake, Auto Loader, and DLT.
• Excellent programming and debugging skills in Python.
• Strong hands on experience with PySpark to build efficient data transformation and validation logic.
• Must be proficient in at least one cloud platform: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Create modular dbx functions for transformation, PII masking, and validation logic — reusable across DLT and notebook pipelines.
• Implement ingestion patterns using Auto Loader with checkpointing and schema evolution for structured and semi-structured data.
• Build secure and observable DLT pipelines with DLT Expectations, supporting Bronze/Silver/Gold medallion layering.
• Configure Unity Catalog: set up catalogs, schemas, user/group access, enable audit logging, and define masking for PII fields.
• Enable secure data access across domains and workspaces via Unity Catalog External Locations, Volumes, and lineage tracking.

• Integrate Power BI/Tableau/Looker with Databricks using optimized connectors (ODBC/JDBC) and Unity Catalog security controls.
• Build stakeholder-facing SQL Dashboards within Databricks to monitor KPIs, data pipeline health, and operational SLAs.
• Prepare GenAI-compatible datasets: manage vector embeddings, index with Databricks Vector Search, and use Feature Store with MLflow.
• Package and deploy pipelines using Databricks Asset Bundles through CI/CD pipelines in GitHub or GitLab.
• Troubleshoot, tune, and optimize jobs using Photon engine and serverless compute, ensuring cost efficiency and SLA reliability.
• Experience with cloud-based services relevant to data engineering, data storage, data processing, data warehousing, real-time streaming, and serverless computing.
• Hands on Experience in applying Performance optimization techniques
• Understanding data modeling and data warehousing principles is essential.
