  • Develop and maintain data products within a modern Data Lakehouse architecture, following Medallion (Raw, Bronze, Silver, Gold) design principles.
  • Create and optimize data workflows, orchestration processes, and monitoring solutions to ensure pipeline reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Manage cloud-based data infrastructure and storage solutions across platforms such as Databricks, AWS, Snowflake, and Google Cloud.
  • Build operational tooling and monitoring dashboards to track pipeline health, resource utilization, uptime, and system performance.
  • Collaborate with Data Science, Analytics, Product, and Engineering teams to deliver trusted and scalable data assets.
  • Maintain source control, CI/CD processes, repository standards, and deployment best practices across data platforms.

Qualifications

What we look for:
  • 3-5 years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Experience with cloud-based data platforms such as Databricks, AWS, Snowflake, or Google Cloud.
  • Familiarity with integrating AI and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Natural Language Query tools) to enable you to move faster and deliver higher quality code.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python.
  • Experience with Spark and distributed data processing (PySpark preferred).
  • Strong experience with data pipelines (ETL/ELT, event-driven, or workflow-based systems)
