This role requires daily hands-on use of GitHub Copilot and/or Claude Code CLI to accelerate software and data pipeline development.

Lead complex Data Engineering initiatives and provide technical guidance to engineering teams
Develop batch and real-time data processing pipelines for large-scale enterprise datasets
Use GitHub Copilot and/or Claude Code CLI daily to accelerate coding, pipeline development, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation
Rapidly develop POCs and MVPs using AI-assisted engineering practices
Apply AI within data pipelines for schema inference, automated data-quality rule generation, anomaly detection, and PySpark transformation generation
Build AI-ready data platforms supporting RAG, embeddings, vector stores, and AI/ML applications
Develop streaming pipelines using Structured Streaming, Kafka, Kinesis, or Databricks Auto Loader
Implement modern data engineering patterns including CDC, SCD Type 2, schema evolution, idempotent processing, and data contracts
Implement data quality, validation, monitoring, lineage, and observability across data pipelines
Conduct code/design reviews and establish reusable Data Engineering patterns and standards
Collaborate with Data Architects, AI/ML Engineers, Software Engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver enterprise data products
Basic Qualifications Must Have:
7+ years of experience in Data Engineering and Software Engineering, building production-grade enterprise data solutions
4+ years of hands-on experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, Medallion Architecture, and PySpark/Spark
4+ years of experience with the AWS data ecosystem, including S3, EMR, Glue, Lambda, and/or Redshift
Proven experience leading complex Data Engineering initiatives or providing technical leadership to Data Engineering teams
Strong hands-on experience processing high-volume datasets using PySpark, rather than Scala-only Spark development
Demonstrated daily use of GitHub Copilot and/or Claude Code CLI, with the ability to explain specific examples of how these tools improve Data Engineering productivity
Proven experience rapidly developing POCs and MVPs using AI-assisted development practices

Data Platform: Databricks, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog
