Mentor engineers, review designs and pull requests, and help grow the data engineering capability

Champion Agile ways of working to improve team effectiveness and delivery flow

Make pragmatic architecture decisions across cloud-native solutions,



microservices, and event-driven patterns

Design and build core data assets on Databricks, including medallion-style data lakes, PySpark pipelines, streaming solutions, and downstream data products

Partner with architects and stakeholders to ensure solutions align with business goals, compliance requirements, and target architecture

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Strong hands-on experience building and operating production data platforms on
