  Roles & Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks, PySpark, and Spark SQL.
  • Optimize Spark jobs—including partitioning, caching, cluster sizing, shuffle minimization, and cost-efficient workload design.
  • Build and manage workflows using Databricks Jobs, Repos, Delta Live Tables, and Unity Catalog.
  • Develop and refine DBT models, tests, seeds, macros, and documentation to support standardized transformation layers.
  • Implement modular, version-controlled DBT pipelines aligned with data governance and quality practices.

  • Continuously refine and optimize data assets for consistency, reliability, and usability across teams.
  • Drive standardization of data patterns, frameworks, and reusable components.
  • Identify and implement engineering efficiencies across Databricks and Spark workloads—cluster optimization, code improvements, auto-scaling patterns, and job orchestration enhancements.
  • Collaborate with platform engineering to enhance DevOps automation, CI/CD pipelines, and environment management.
  • Improve cost governance through workload analysis, optimization, and proactive cost monitoring.
  • Conduct Spark job tuning and pipeline performance optimization to improve processing speed and reduce compute spend.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and deliver durable fixes that improve long term reliability.
  • Implement best practices for Delta Lake performance (ZORDER, auto-optimize, vacuum, retention tuning).
  • Implement end-to-end observability for data pipelines, including logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
  • Integrate Databricks with monitoring ecosystems (e.g., Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, Datadog).
  • Ensure pipeline SLAs/SLOs are clearly defined and consistently met.
  • Work closely with data architects, analysts, business SMEs, and platform teams.
  • Provide technical leadership, review code, mentor junior engineers, and advocate for engineering excellence.
  • Translate business requirements into scalable, production-quality data solutions.
