• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end data products on Databricks, spanning ingestion, Delta Lake storage, transformation, serving, APIs, and user-facing experiences.
• Develop and operate reliable batch, incremental, and streaming pipelines using SQL, Python, PySpark, Kafka, and Databricks-native capabilities.
• Design event-driven and near-real-time data solutions that integrate with operational systems and downstream consumers.
• Build backend services, APIs, and integrations that make governed data available to applications and operational workflows.
• Develop lightweight applications, dashboards, and interfaces in partnership with product, analytics, BI, and user-experience teams.
• Rapidly prototype solutions, validate them through stakeholder feedback, and prepare successful concepts for production use.
• Create scalable data models and curated datasets that support analytics, reporting, AI/ML, and operational decision-making.
• Implement data-quality, security, lineage, and governance controls using Databricks and Unity Catalog.
• Establish automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, and documentation across the data-product lifecycle.
• Optimize pipelines, streaming workloads, queries, services, and applications for reliability, performance, scalability, and cost.
• Diagnose and resolve issues across source systems, streaming platforms, pipelines, data models, APIs, applications, and downstream consumers.
• Collaborate with platform and product engineering teams to turn recurring stakeholder needs into reusable capabilities.
• Lead technical design and code reviews, mentor engineers, and help elevate full-stack data-engineering practices.

What you will have

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, or a related role, including ownership of production data solutions.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, and PySpark, with experience building reliable, production-grade pipelines and data products.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and Unity Catalog or comparable data-governance capabilities.
• Experience designing and supporting streaming or near-real-time data pipelines using Kafka, Kinesis, Event Hubs, or similar event-streaming technologies.
• Strong understanding of event-driven architecture, message processing, schema evolution, data consistency, and streaming reliability.
• Experience delivering full-stack solutions that include data pipelines, backend services or APIs, and lightweight user-facing applications.
• Experience building REST APIs, services, and integrations using Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or comparable technologies.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP and cloud-native architecture patterns.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, data warehousing, distributed processing, and analytics-friendly data design.
• Experience with Git, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and production-deployment practices.
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with stakeholders, navigate ambiguity, and translate business problems into practical technical solutions.
• Strong communication, technical leadership, problem-solving, and end-to-end ownership skills.
• Ability to balance rapid delivery with maintainability, security, governance, and operational reliability.

• Familiarity with infrastructure as code, containerization, and automated cloud deployment.
• Experience supporting AI/ML pipelines, feature engineering, retrieval systems, or generative AI use cases.
• Experience with data observability, platform engineering, or data-product management practices.
• Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript and a modern frontend framework such as React, or comparable data-application experience.
• Background in forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or another stakeholder-embedded delivery role.
• Experience designing reusable data platforms, frameworks, or self-service capabilities.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers and contributing to engineering standards.
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments.
