• Orchestrate jobs with Workflows or Lakeflow, with data quality checks, monitoring and alerting.
• Deploy Databricks assets through CI/CD (Asset Bundles) across development, test and production.

What you bring

• 6+ years in data engineering, including 3+ years on Databricks: PySpark, Delta Lake, Workflows and Unity Catalog.
• Strong SQL and Python; CI/CD for data pipelines.
• Experience with large files and unstructured documents, not only tabular data.
