Your Tasks Will Include:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and build scalable data pipelines and workflows in Databricks.
• Develop ETL/ELT processes using Databricks, Python, and SQL to ingest, transform, and prepare data.
• Optimize data workflows for higher performance, reliability, and cost‑efficiency within cloud environments.
• Support the creation and maintenance of data models, tables, and integrations on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or similar).
• Partner with data analysts and scientists to deliver clean, accessible data for analytics and reporting.
• Monitor pipelines, troubleshoot technical issues, and contribute to internal documentation and best practices.

• Practical experience designing and maintaining data pipelines within the Databricks ecosystem.
• Working knowledge of public cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP), specifically compute, storage, and data services.
• Higher education in Computer Science, STEM, or equivalent real‑world technical experience.
• Strong focus on code quality, testing, and writing clean, maintainable software.
• Excellent communication skills tailored for effective remote‑first collaboration.

Reasons to join:

• Open to B2B collaboration and permanent contract
• Deep‑dive into modern Lakehouse architectures (Medallion model, Delta Lake, PySpark) with a team that specializes exclusively in high‑performance cloud data and AI platforms.
• Beyond core ETL, your work directly powers enterprise AI, MLOps, and Generative AI initiatives - offering a clear path to upskill in AI/ML engineering.
• Enjoy total location independence anywhere in Poland with flexible working hours designed around trust, outcomes, and work‑life balance.
• Solve complex data engineering challenges for top‑tier enterprise clients across finance, healthcare, and tech without the corporate red tape.
• Gain continuous hands‑on experience with emerging Databricks features, multi‑cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and automated CI/CD data workflows.
• Benefit from a straightforward, transparent B2B contract structure with stability, competitive compensation, and long‑term project pipelines.
