Job summary

Accenture in the Philippines is hiring for a Data Engineer to design, develop, and maintain data solutions for data generation, collection, and processing. You will create data pipelines, ensure data quality, and implement ETL processes to migrate data across systems.

The role requires at least 1 year of hands-on experience with Databricks, PySpark, Python, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), plus strong debugging skills and a focus on scalable, observable pipelines.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1 year of experience is required.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain data solutions for data generation, collection, and processing.
• Create data pipelines, ensure data quality, and implement ETL/ELT processes to migrate and deploy data across systems.
• 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.
• Collaborate with data sharing stakeholders to implement Delta Sharing — both internally and externally.
• 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.

Job Description:

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

• Minimum 1 year of experience is required
• 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.
• Access and utilize data assets from the Databricks Marketplace to support enrichment, model training, or benchmarking.
• Collaborate with data sharing stakeholders to implement Delta Sharing — both internally and externally.
• 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.
