The Role
This role will focus on designing, developing, and supporting Databricks-based pipelines, medallion-layer data products, and enterprise integrations that enable analytics, reporting, and AI use cases. The role also includes building and supporting data movement patterns both into Databricks and between enterprise applications, including solutions that leverage DataStage and related integration technologies.
You will partner closely with product owners, architects, data engineers, report and analytics teams, and source-system teams to define trusted data products, improve data quality and reliability, and deliver scalable solutions that support operational and executive decision-making.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines in Databricks to ingest, transform, validate, and publish trusted data products for analytics, reporting, and AI use cases.
- Develop and support end-to-end ETL/ELT workflows using Databricks notebooks, Python, Spark, and SQL, including orchestration, parameterization, error handling, restartability, and performance optimization.
- Build and maintain Bronze, Silver, and Gold data products that are reusable, governed, and aligned to business and downstream consumption needs.
- Build and support integrations both into Databricks and between enterprise applications, including legacy and modern integration patterns such as DataStage-based workflows.
- Implement pipeline logic for ingestion, standardization, cleansing, enrichment, joins, aggregations, and publishing of curated data assets for downstream use.
- Partner with product owners, architects, source-system teams, report and analytics teams, and data consumers to translate business needs into well-defined technical solutions and trusted data products.
- Define and implement data transformations, semantic structures, and curated data assets that improve usability, consistency, downstream performance, and trust in the data.
- Apply strong data quality, validation, reconciliation, and documentation practices to ensure data products are accurate, discoverable, reliable, and production-ready.
- Use GitHub-based development practices for version control, code review, collaboration, and promotion of pipeline changes across environments.
- Support secure and compliant data delivery by implementing access controls, permissions, and governance requirements in alignment with GM policies.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve pipeline health, runtime performance, cost efficiency, and operational stability across production data assets and integrations.
- Help modernize legacy integrations and reporting patterns by standardizing and migrating solutions onto the enterprise data platform.
- Contribute to team standards, reusable patterns, and best practices for notebooks, Python development, GitHub workflows, data engineering, integration design, data quality, and operational support.
