About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ML-ready infrastructure on Azure and Databricks. This is a hands-on engineering role: you'll own the full data pipeline lifecycle - ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and deployment - while supporting machine learning workflows with clean, reliable data. If you're comfortable owning infrastructure decisions and writing production-quality Python at scale, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

* Design, build, and maintain data pipelines using Databricks and Azure-native data services

* Develop and optimize ETL/ELT processes to support analytics and machine learning workloads

* Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data engineering and ML deployment workflows

* Write clean, efficient, production-quality Python for data processing and pipeline automation

* Support machine learning teams with well-structured, high-quality datasets and feature pipelines

* Design and manage data architecture across Azure services (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Azure Synapse)

* Monitor pipeline performance, troubleshoot data quality issues, and implement reliability improvements

* Implement data governance, security, and access control best practices

* Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers to align data infrastructure with business needs

* Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical planning

What You Bring

* Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud data services

* Proven experience building and maintaining pipelines on Databricks

* Solid experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines for data or ML workflows

* Strong Python skills for data engineering and pipeline development

* Working knowledge of machine learning workflows and how data engineering supports them

* Experience with SQL and relational/distributed data systems

* Understanding of data pipeline orchestration, monitoring, and reliability practices

* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently on complex data infrastructure challenges

* Solid communication skills for collaborating with data science and engineering teams

Nice to Have

* Experience with MLOps practices and tools (MLflow, Azure ML)

* Familiarity with Spark internals and performance tuning within Databricks

* Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates)

* Exposure to real-time/streaming data pipelines (Kafka, Event Hubs, Structured Streaming)

* Relevant Azure or Databricks certifications

Why This Role

* Full pipeline ownership: Own data infrastructure end to end, from ingestion through ML-ready delivery

* Modern data stack: Work with Azure and Databricks, leading platforms in enterprise data engineering

* Cross-functional impact: Directly enable machine learning and analytics outcomes, not just move data

* Flexibility: Remote-friendly engagement structure
