Experience Requirements
• Total Data Engineering: 5+ years
• Databricks Specific: 1+ years of hands-on experience in production environments
• Enterprise Scale: Experience building enterprise-level scalable pipelines with Spark or Hadoop-based systems Required Certifications
Mandatory:
Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional.
Highly Preferred: Apache Spark Developer Associate
Cloud (Optional): Professional-level certification in AWS.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design & Build: Develop robust Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold) pipelines using Lakeflow and Delta Lake
• Performance Tuning: Proactively monitor and tune clusters, jobs, and serverless compute to reduce latency and infrastructure costs
• Governance Integration: Ensure every data asset is correctly tagged, secured through ACL, and discoverable via Unity Catalog
• Code Review: Enforce software engineering best practices (unit testing, modular code, and documentation) within the data team
• Streaming & Ingestion: Implement real-time or near-real-time data ingestion using Structured Streaming and Lake flow Connect
• Observability: Monitor pipeline health and costs using system tables; set up alerts and dashboards for proactive issue detection.
Preferred Candidate Background:
• Distributed Systems: Proven track record with Open-Source Apache Spark, Flink, or Hadoop.
• Python-Centric: Advanced Python skills are a prerequisite; the project requires building complex logic that exceeds standard SQL capabilities.
• Engineering Mindset: Experience in refactoring legacy Big Data workloads into clean, testable, and optimized PySpark applications.
