Senior Data Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer who will play a key role in modernizing our data platform by analyzing existing ETL pipelines and migrating them to the new platform built on Databricks. The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience with data engineering best practices, AWS ecosystem, and Databricks-based transformations.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze and understand existing ETL pipelines, data sources, and transformation logic across current platforms

Drive end-to-end migration of data pipelines to the new platform using Databricks

Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines for batch and near real-time processing in the new platform

Re-engineer legacy ETL/ELT workflows into optimized, scalable, and modular pipelines using Spark/Databricks

Integrate data from multiple heterogeneous sources and ensure seamless data flow across systems

Implement data transformation logic using PySpark/SQL on Databricks and ensure adherence to best practices

Validate migrated pipelines to ensure data accuracy, reconciliation, and consistency with source systems

Optimize pipelines for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency within cloud environments

Work closely with business stakeholders, analysts, and data teams to understand data requirements and use cases

Support reporting, analytics, and downstream applications by providing reliable and high-quality datasets

Monitor production pipelines, troubleshoot failures, and proactively resolve data-related issues

Ensure proper logging, alerting, and observability for all pipelines (using tools like CloudWatch / Databricks monitoring)

Follow data governance, security, and compliance standards during data handling and migration

Implement CI/CD pipelines for data workflows and maintain proper documentation of pipelines and processes

Strong understanding of data modeling, data warehousing concepts, and data lake architectures

Experience working with large-scale datasets and distributed processing

Knowledge of pipeline orchestration and workflow management

Preferred Skills (Good to Have)

Experience with data migration to modern data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Lakehouse architecture)

Understanding of CDC (Change Data Capture), Delta Lake, and incremental processing patterns

Experience with monitoring tools (Grafana, CloudWatch)

Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Azure DevOps, Git-based workflows)

Key Expectations from Candidate

Ability to quickly understand existing systems and reverse-engineer data pipelines

Strong problem-solving skills to modernize and optimize legacy data processes

Ownership mindset to drive migration tasks end-to-end with minimal supervision
