• Enable Databricks and PySpark-based workflows for large-scale analytics.
• Build advanced data search capabilities (fuzzy matching, vector similarity search, semantic retrieval).
• Apply ML techniques (scikit-learn, classification algorithms, predictive modeling) to data-driven solutions.
• Implement observability, debugging, monitoring, and alerting for deployed services.
• Create Mermaid sequence diagrams, flowcharts, and dataflow diagrams to document system architecture and workflows.
• Drive best practices in fullstack data service development, including architecture, testing, and documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or a Software Backend engineering role.
• Strong programming skills in Python, Scala, or JavaHands-on experience with HBase or similar NoSQL columnar stores.

• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, or similar).
• Understanding of data modeling techniques (star schema, dimensional modeling, etc.).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or similar).
• Ability to visualize and communicate architectures using Mermaid diagrams.

Bonus Points

• Experience working with Databricks, dbt, Terraform, or Kubernetes
• Familiarity with streaming data pipelines or real-time processing
• Exposure to data governance frameworks and tools
• Experience supporting data products or ML pipelines in production
• Strong understanding of data privacy, security, and compliance best practices
