Senior Technical Lead
About this role
Job Summary
Work with cutting-edge big data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Apache Spark) at large scale, pushing the boundaries of data processing and model enablement. • Build and maintain robust ETL/ELT pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and aggregation of large-scale datasets on Hadoop and enterprise data platforms. • Develop high-performance data processing jobs using PySpark/Spark, Python on data platforms such as cloudera and databricks. • Optimize pipeline performance and cost through partitioning, file formats, compute tuning, and efficient query patterns • Contribute to CI/CD for data workflows (testing, code reviews, deployment automation), promoting engineering best practices and maintainable codebases. • Partner with Product Managers to develop a deep understanding of users and use cases and apply that knowledge to scoping and building new modules and features Ideal Candidate Qualifications: • Strong hands-on experience in data engineering building production-grade pipelines on big data platforms (Hadoop ecosystem and cloud data platforms - databricks). • High proficiency in using Python, Spark, Hadoop platforms & tools (Hive, Impala, Airflow, NiFi), SQL to build Big Data products. • Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms such as databricks, snowflake (databricks preferred) • Experience with orchestration/integration tools such as Apache Airflow, Apache NiFi, or Talend. • Working knowledge of DevOps/CI-CD practices: version control (Git), automated testing, release pipelines, and observability. • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex data issues and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Experience developing Java based applications is an added advantage
