About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in Databricks, Python, PySpark, and SQL to build scalable, high-performance data engineering solutions. You’ll architect and develop large scale, high-performance data pipelines capable of handling massive real-time and batch data volumes across multiple business systems. Databricks is the core enterprise data and processing platform for this role. You will also use Apache Airflow for workflow orchestration and dbt for ELT transformations, and will contribute to designing reliable, secure, and governed data platforms that enable analytics, reporting, and AI-driven use cases.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement large-scale data pipelines using Python/PySpark, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric.
• Develop and optimize data processing workloads in Databricks using PySpark and Spark SQL, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• 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.
