Azure Big Data Engineer information

What does an Azure Big Data Engineer do?

An Azure Big Data Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and managing big data solutions using Microsoft Azure cloud technologies. They focus on processing large volumes of data, creating data pipelines, and ensuring data is stored and analyzed efficiently. Their work often involves tools such as Azure Data Lake, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data Factory. Azure Big Data Engineers collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and other IT professionals to enable data-driven decision-making within organizations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Azure Big Data Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Azure Big Data Engineer, you need expertise in data engineering, cloud computing, and programming languages such as Python or Scala, typically supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with Azure Data Services (like Azure Data Lake, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Databricks), as well as certifications like Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate, is highly valuable. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills help you collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and translate business needs into technical solutions. These skills and qualities are essential for building scalable, reliable data pipelines that drive business insights and innovation in cloud environments.

What are some common challenges Azure Big Data Engineers face when integrating multiple data sources?

Azure Big Data Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring data consistency and quality when integrating disparate data sources like on-premises databases, cloud storage, and third-party APIs. Handling varying data formats and latency issues can also complicate data pipelines. To overcome these challenges, engineers typically use Azure Data Factory for orchestration, implement robust data validation, and collaborate closely with data architects and business analysts to align on integration requirements.

Job description

Job Responsibilities:

AdvanSix is seeking a Big Data Engineer to build and operate our enterprise Unified Data Layer (UDL) - spanning IT and OT - to deliver trustworthy, performant data products that power Finance, Operations, Supply Chain & Logistics, HSE, Commercial, and corporate analytics. You’ll engineer batch/CDC/streaming pipelines, model curated/semantic layers, and harden run-state with testing, CI/CD, security, and observability. You’ll partner closely with the data team and larger IT organization.

Mission

Design and deliver scalable, secure data pipelines and data models that safely connect operational systems to analytics, ensure trusted and wellgoverned data, and enable repeatable delivery of BI, ML, AI, and automation solutions.

Data Engineering & Modeling

· Build ingestion pipelines (batch, CDC, streaming) from S/4HANA/DataSphere, PHD/historian, LIMS, TMS, HSE, and other sources into landing → curated → semantic layers.

· Implement data contracts, schema/versioning, SCD handling, partitioning, and performance tuning (file formats, clustering, caching).

· Develop dimensional/semantic models that back certified Power BI datasets and APIs for apps/agents.

OT/IT Integration & Safety

· Integrate OT data via OPC UA/MQTT, broker/DMZ patterns, read-only historian feeds, and event/batch frames—no control-net reads.

· Collaborate with plant controls on change control, signal quality, and downtime windows.

Quality, Security & Observability

· Embed data quality rules, unit/integration tests, and validation checks (freshness, completeness, drift/PSI).

· Instrument lineage and end-to-end monitoring; build alerting and on-call runbooks to minimize MTTR.

· Enforce RBAC, secrets management, PII/HSE classifications, and retention aligned to Governance/MDM policies.

CI/CD, Cost & Reliability

· Automate build/test/deploy with Git-based CI/CD (environments, approvals, blue/green).

· Track and optimize cost/performance (cluster sizing, autoscaling, cache strategy); contribute to FinOps reviews.

Collaboration & Documentation

· Partner with Reporting & BI on semantic model contracts, RLS, and performance SLAs; avoid direct system scraping.

· Produce “readme” docs, data dictionaries, runbooks, and post-incident reviews; support knowledge transfer with vendors.

Basic Qualifications:

· Minimum 5 years' in data engineering building production pipelines at scale (batch/CDC/streaming).

· Hands-on with Azure data stack: Databricks or Fabric/Synapse, ADF/Pipelines, ADLS/OneLake, Azure SQL/SQL MI, Key Vault.

· Strong SQL and Python/PySpark; comfort with Spark Structured Streaming and performance tuning.

· Experience implementing tests/observability (freshness, schema, expectations), and Git-based CI/CD.

· Familiarity with SAP S/4HANA structures and SAP DataSphere semantic modeling.

· OT concepts: historians (PHD/PI), OPC UA/MQTT, event/batch frames, ISA-95/99 basics.

· Understanding of Power BI consumption (semantic models, RLS) and APIs for downstream AI/ML apps/agents.

Preferred Qualifications:

· Time-series/data-quality tooling (e.g., Great Expectations or equivalent patterns), feature/metric stores.

· MDM concepts (keys, survivorship), lineage/catalog tooling.

· TMS/WMS, LIMS, Historian, HSE domain exposure; Lean/Six Sigma mindset; FinOps awareness.

The base salary range for this position is $104,600 to $156,800 annually.
