Job description

• Production Python on Spark/Databricks: has shipped data pipelines as real software (importable modules, packaging, code review), with Delta/medallion and Databricks Asset Bundles familiarity.
• Test automation and CI/CD: pytest and coverage wired into GitHub Actions as an actual deploy gate, plus dependency pinning and lockfiles. Bonus if they've made "no green tests, no deploy" stick on a team that wasn't already doing it.
• Data engineering and data modeling: schema/data contracts, medallion boundaries, idempotent reprocessing, versioning, and lineage. Can deliver a blunt architecture critique backed by a prioritized backlog, not just an opinion.
• Some AI/LLM engineering experience: token and cost instrumentation, batching and concurrency control, model selection and serving. An engineer who's worked around LLMs, not a research data scientist.
• Enablement mindset: leaves a repeatable pattern and a written playbook so the team can keep going after they roll off. Comfortable in a fast moving, messy codebase rather than needing greenfield.

Education:

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
