  • Partner closely with architects, data scientists, analysts, and business teams to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Troubleshoot production issues, drive performance optimisation, and support continuous platform improvements.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the creation of reusable components and engineering standards.

Required Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of hands-on data engineering experience in enterprise environments.
  • Strong expertise in Azure services, particularly Azure Databricks, Azure Functions, and (preferably) Azure Data Factory.
  • Advanced proficiency in Apache Spark with Python (PySpark).
  • Strong SQL skills, including query optimisation and performance tuning.
  • Deep experience with ETL/ELT methodologies, scheduling, and data orchestration.
  • Hands-on expertise with Delta Lake (ACID, schema evolution, performance tuning).
  • Strong understanding of data modelling (normalised, dimensional, lakehouse).
  • Proven experience with batch and streaming technologies such as Kafka or Event Hub.
  • Solid grasp of data architecture, distributed systems, and cloud-native design patterns.
  • Ability to design and evaluate end-to-end technical solutions and recommend best-fit architectures.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate across teams and lead technical discussions.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as Azure DevOps and Git.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, ARM).
  • Exposure to data governance and metadata cataloguing tools (e.g., Azure Purview).
  • Experience supporting machine learning or BI workloads on Databricks.

Benefits:
