Responsibilities

Design and implement scalable Big Data solutions utilizing Apache Spark, Hadoop, and Azure Databricks. Define robust data processing architectures, transformation strategies, and engineering standards aligned with business objectives.

Lead the development of distributed data processing pipelines using Spark (Scala or PySpark) and other Hadoop ecosystem technologies. Optimize SQL and Hive-based data processing solutions for enhanced performance and scalability. Architect and fine-tune Azure Databricks solutions for large-scale data engineering and analytics.

Design and deploy data Lakehouse solutions with Apache Hudi or Apache Iceberg. Establish comprehensive frameworks for data ingestion, transformation, validation, and reconciliation to ensure data reliability. Drive performance tuning initiatives across Spark jobs, Databricks workloads, Hive queries, and Hadoop environments.

Review data engineering solutions to ensure adherence to architectural, performance, and engineering standards. Conduct detailed root cause analysis to troubleshoot complex data processing, performance, and platform issues. Mentor team members on Spark, Hadoop, Databricks, Hudi/Iceberg, SQL optimization, and best practices in Big Data engineering.

Collaborate effectively with various teams and stakeholders to support end-to-end data platform delivery. Champion continuous improvement initiatives focused on scalability, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Qualifications

This role requires 7-8 years of experience in Big Data engineering. Essential skills include expertise in Data Ingestion Tools (Sqoop), Hadoop (HDFS + YARN), Azure Databricks, and a strong understanding of the Hadoop Ecosystem Fundamentals (HBase + Impala), Hive, and Scala.

Proficiency in Apache Hudi is mandatory. While PySpark is an advantageous additional skill, a strong foundation in the core technologies is paramount. The ideal candidate demonstrates strong ownership, collaborates effectively with diverse teams, and promotes quality-focused engineering through proactive validation and optimization.

Candidates should possess strong analytical thinking to tackle complex data engineering challenges, exhibit adaptability in dynamic technology environments, and communicate clearly regarding delivery status, risks, and opportunities.
