🔹 Develop data transformations in Azure Databricks (PySpark / SQL) following Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold layers)

🔹 Optimize performance, cost, and reliability of data workloads

🔹 Contribute to the evolution of the data platform (metadata-driven orchestration, observability, data quality)

🔹 Support the migration of legacy data solutions to modern Lakehouse architecture

🔹 Implement and improve data quality frameworks (e.g. Soda, Great Expectations)

🔹 Ensure pipelines are observable, testable, and production-ready

🔹 Collaborate with Run/Operations teams to troubleshoot incidents and ensure platform stability

🔹 Participate in incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives

🔹 Contribute to data cataloging, lineage, and governance (e.g. Unity Catalog)

💡 Must Have

🔹 4+ years of experience in Data Engineering / Analytics Engineering / BI

🔹 Strong expertise in: Python (PySpark); SQL (advanced level)

🔹 Hands-on experience with: Azure (Data Factory, cloud data platforms), Databricks & Delta Lake, Apache Airflow

🔹 Solid understanding of: Data Lake / Data Warehouse / Lakehouse architectures, Medallion architecture, ETL / ELT design patterns, Metadata-driven approaches

🔹 Experience with performance optimization, partitioning, and scalable data pipelines

🔹 Understanding of batch and streaming pipelines

🔹 Familiarity with DevOps / DataOps practices

🔹 Strong problem-solving skills and ownership mindset

🔹 Ability to work with both technical and business stakeholders

🔹 Fluent English

✨ Nice to Have

🔹 Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, Bicep)

🔹 Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub)

🔹 Exposure to Data Quality tools (Great Expectations, Soda)

🔹 Experience with Data Catalogs (Unity Catalog, DataHub, Atlan, etc.)

🔹 Experience with monitoring/logging tools (Grafana, Azure Log Analytics)

🔹 Background in AdTech or digital environments
