💼How can you contribute to the team?

The IT Senior Data Engineer will design, build, optimize, and support scalable data engineering solutions on a modern cloud-native data platform. The role will focus on developing reliable, secure, and high performing data pipelines, curated data layers, and analytics-ready data assets that support business operations, reporting, advanced analytics, and new strategic initiatives. This role requires a senior-level data engineer who can work independently across technical and business teams, clarify requirements directly with stakeholders, translate business needs into technical delivery plans, and ensure that data products are designed for quality, performance, reusability, and long-term maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize automated data pipelines, ETL/ELT workflows, data models, and curated data layers using Azure, Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, PySpark, SQL, and related cloud-native data engineering tools.

• Build scalable ingestion, transformation, validation, and publishing processes to support enterprise data consumption across reporting, analytics, application, and operational use cases.

• Partner directly with business stakeholders, product owners, data consumers, analytics teams, and subject matter experts to clarify business requirements, data definitions, transformation rules, data quality expectations, refresh requirements, and acceptance criteria.

• Translate business requirements into technical specifications, source-to-target mappings, data models, pipeline designs, delivery estimates, and implementation plans.

• Facilitate requirement-discovery discussions, playback sessions, technical walkthroughs, and solution reviews with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Design and implement reliable data marts, analytical datasets, curated data products, and customized data extracts aligned with business priorities and consumption patterns.

• Develop reusable data engineering frameworks, patterns, and components that improve delivery speed, operational reliability, monitoring, and maintainability.

• Ensure data pipelines and data products are designed with appropriate controls for data quality, lineage, auditability, security, privacy, access management, and compliance.

• Implement validation checks, reconciliation processes, exception handling, logging, and monitoring to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

• Monitor pipeline health, performance, cost, and reliability; troubleshoot production incidents; perform root cause analysis; and implement preventive and corrective actions.

• Optimize Databricks jobs, Spark workloads, SQL queries, Delta tables, partitioning strategies, and orchestration patterns for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.

• Work closely with data architects, platform engineers, product owners, data analysts, and data scientists to ensure that data infrastructure and data products are reliable, discoverable, well-governed, and fit for business use.

• Support batch and scheduled data processing requirements, with experience in near-real-time or frequent application/data refresh patterns considered a strong advantage.

• Contribute to data architecture decisions involving lakehouse design, data layering, ingestion patterns, transformation standards, orchestration, metadata management, and operational support.
