• Develop and maintain dbt models including layered architecture, incremental models, snapshots, macros, testing, and documentation.
• Design, develop, and maintain Apache Airflow DAGs for orchestrating reliable, scalable, and observable data pipelines.
• Design and implement data quality, observability, and governance frameworks, including automated testing, monitoring, lineage, access control, and data privacy standards.
• Partner with analytics, product, and business stakeholders to turn requirements into trustworthy datasets, and raise the engineering bar through design discussions, code reviews, and mentoring junior engineers.

Required Skills

• Strong expertise in Python for developing scalable, modular, and production-ready data engineering applications.
• Strong expertise in PySpark, including DataFrame API, Spark SQL, Structured Streaming, partitioning strategies, joins, caching, handling data skew, and Spark performance optimization.
• Strong hands-on experience with Databricks for data ingestion, transformation, processing, and optimization, including Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Databricks Workflows, notebooks, jobs, and Databricks-native data engineering capabilities.
• Strong experience in Databricks/Spark performance tuning, including query and job optimization, partitioning, file sizing, caching, join optimization, handling data skew, and efficient use of compute resources.
• Hands-on experience with Delta Lake, including transactional data processing, schema management, incremental data processing, and reliable batch and streaming data pipelines.
• Hands-on experience in developing dbt projects using layered architecture, incremental models, snapshots, macros/Jinja, testing, documentation, and deployment best practices.
• Expertise in advanced SQL and data modelling — dimensional modeling, slowly changing dimensions, schema evolution, and query optimization.
• Hands-on experience in developing and managing Apache Airflow DAGs, scheduling workflows, dependency management, retries, backfills, and operational monitoring.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently with business and analytics stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on exposure to Microsoft Fabric for data integration and analytics.
• Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as part of a development workflow.
• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Domain expertise in financial services.
