• Collaborate cross-functionally with analytics, engineering, and business teams.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, including C-level executives.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Cloud Architecture, or related roles.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Databricks.

• Strong proficiency in PySpark, Spark SQL, Python, and SQL.

• Deep experience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables, and Databricks Jobs.

• Proven experience delivering Databricks projects in a consulting or professional services environment.

• Strong understanding of data lake concepts and formats (Delta, Iceberg, Parquet, etc.).

• Experience designing and managing Unity Catalog for governance, access control, and lineage.

• Familiarity with medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold) patterns.

• Hands-on experience with Git version control, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative development workflows.

• CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code for Databricks resources (Terraform, Asset Bundles, GitHub Actions).

• MLflow experience: experiment tracking, model registry, deployment, and observability.

• Cloud platform experience.

• Experience working in client-facing, consulting, or cross-functional environments.

• Experience leading technical projects or mentoring engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Associate or Professional, Machine Learning Associate or Professional, Data Engineer Associate or Professional or ML Engineer Associate or Professional).
• Experience with agentic AI workflows, including agents, skills, and tools on the Databricks side (Agentbricks), as well as LangChain and Claude agentic workflows.
