- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) to automate build, test, and deployment workflows.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including data engineers, DevOps, QA, and product managers to deliver end-to-end solutions.
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code following best software engineering practices.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize production systems for performance and reliability.

- Strong proficiency in Java (Java 8+), including multithreading, collections, and design patterns.
- Working knowledge of Big Data frameworks/table formats such as Apache Iceberg, Spark, or Hive.
- Experience with ETL/data workflow concepts (building, consuming, or integrating with pipelines).
- Experience deploying and managing containerized applications with Kubernetes (Helm, Docker).
- Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, or similar).
- Solid understanding of relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB).
- Experience with version control systems (Git) and Agile/Scrum development practices.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Familiarity with data lakehouse architectures and table formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hudi).
- Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
- Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK stack).
