  • Use Databricks Notebooks with Python and / or Scala for data preparation, automation, and analysis.
  • Monitor and optimize compute resources and job performance for cost control and efficiency.
  • Document data pipelines, transformation logic, and architecture for transparency and maintainability.

Education and Experience

  • 2–5 years in a Data Engineering or Business Data Analysis role.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Databricks (including Delta Lake, Spark SQL, and Notebooks).
  • Strong working knowledge of Power BI (data modeling, DAX, dashboard design, publishing).
  • Advanced SQL skills for large‑scale data transformation and optimization.
  • Proficiency in Python and / or Scala for data processing in Databricks.
  • Proven experience with Fivetran or similar ETL / ELT tools for automated data ingestion.
  • Experience integrating data from Business Applications like Workday and Salesforce (via APIs, reports, or connectors).
  • Ability to manage and transform data from on‑premises and cloud systems.
  • Strong communication skills with experience in business requirement gathering and data storytelling.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Databricks Certified Data Engineer, Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst, Workday Reporting Specialist) are a plus.
  • Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have
