  • 4+ years of professional experience in a related field like Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, or related field with a track record of manipulating, processing, and extracting value from large datasets.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with Databricks, including advanced features (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog) with Databricks or cloud certifications with 1-2 years of experience leading workstreams / client-facing delivery.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and solid understanding of modern data modeling principles, dimensional modeling, and data warehousing concepts.
  • Proficiency in Python (or similar scripting languages) for data processing, automation, and analytical workflows
  • Strong experience working in teams to perform ETL (extract, transform and load) of data from a variety of databases from SQL, NoSQL, etc.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale data migrations (ETL, workloads, cloud platforms), including migration of legacy data platforms or ETL workloads to cloud-native environments.
  • Experience applying CI/CD practices to data engineering workflows, including version control, automated deployment, and pipeline orchestration.
  • Independent ability to review the data quality and data definitions and perform data cleansing and data management tasks.
  • Experience collaborating within cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams to solve complex data challenges, including processing semi-structured and unstructured data
