Databricks Data Engineer
zephico
Job Description
- Design and build batch and streaming pipelines with Spark, Delta Live Tables and Delta Lake
- Implement medallion architectures with Unity Catalog governance
- Migrate legacy warehouses (Redshift, Snowflake, on-prem) to the lakehouse
- Optimize cluster configuration and pipeline cost — and explain the trade-offs to clients
- Work directly with client engineering teams in US and European timezones (structured overlap hours, not night shifts)
What we’re looking for
- 3–6 years in data engineering, with at least one year of hands-on Databricks or serious Spark experience
- Strong Python and SQL — you write code that other engineers review and reuse
- Experience running pipelines in production: monitoring, incident handling, backfills
- Clear written and spoken English — you’ll communicate directly with clients
- Databricks certification is a plus; if you don’t have it, we’ll pay for you to get it
