Lead Data Engineer

We are looking for a Databricks Data Engineer who is strong on fundamentals and genuinely curious about where the platform is going. This role sits within our Data & AI Centre of Excellence as part of a dedicated Databricks practice -focused on building use cases, running POCs, and developing solutions that support and grow our Databricks partnership. This is not a pipeline maintenance role. The work is exploratory by nature -you will be expected to learn new Databricks capabilities as they land, build proof-of-concepts, and contribute to a growing solution catalogue across Manufacturing, Retail, and BFSI verticals. If you are someone who reads release notes, experiments in sandboxes, and wants to understand the full Databricks stack rather than a narrow slice of it -this is the right environment. The expectation at this level is solid DE foundations combined with hands-on exposure to Databricks AI capabilities -specifically Mosaic AI and Genie. Production experience is not required for the AI layer; demonstrated curiosity and ability to build and present working POCs
