We are looking for candidate who is a hands-on Data Engineer with 3–5 years of experience building scalable batch and real-time data pipelines and delivering production-grade data products on modern cloud platforms. The candidate will bring strong programming and data querying skills, along with a proven ability to improve performance through efficient storage and processing design. The candidate is comfortable defining data quality checks, implementing automated tests, and setting up reliable release processes to support continuous delivery. Strong problem-solver with clear communication, collaborative teamwork, analytical thinking, and a structured, quality-focused approach.

Your tasks and responsibilities:

• You build and optimize scalable batch and streaming data pipelines using Spark 3.x with RDDs, DataFrames, Spark SQL, and Structured Streaming.
• You develop and maintain robust Lakehouse solutions based on Medallion Architecture using Parquet and Delta formats.
• You work with Databricks capabilities such as Workflows, SQL Warehouses/Endpoints, Delta Live Tables, Pipelines, Unity Catalog, and Auto Loader.
• You contribute to data storage and partitioning strategies considering distribution, data skew, compaction, and overall big data storage efficiency.
• You contribute to development using Python and functional programming principles and collaborate effectively with engineering teams using IntelliJ, PyCharm, Git, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Copilot.
• You implement data quality and test strategies using pytest and Great Expectations.
• You build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines YAML, ensuring continuous delivery and acceptance testing.
• You collaborate with architects, analysts, and product teams to define scalable data models and reliable data processing solutions.
• You support modern data platform evolution by contributing to best practices in data governance, storage design, and platform standardization.
