As a Senior Azure Data Engineer, you will:

  • Design and implement scalable data solutions based on high-level architecture.
  • Build and optimize end-to-end data pipelines using Azure Databricks.
  • Load and process data from disparate data sources into centralized platforms.
  • Perform preprocessing, transformation, and enrichment using PySpark and Spark-SQL.
  • Work directly with stakeholders to gather business requirements for data pipeline and lake migration initiatives.
  • Develop and maintain data solutions using Azure services such as ADLS, ADF, Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL DW.
  • Implement serverless architectures using Azure Functions.
  • Monitor and manage Azure DevOps and Databricks pipelines.
  • Participate in production support and incident resolution.
  • Contribute to data governance practices using Unity Catalog.
  • Support ARM template-based infrastructure deployments.
  • Continuously improve pipeline performance, reliability, and scalability.
