Job description

DataBricks Lead Engineer

Raritan office. Local NJ consultants preferred.

Hybrid

Long term contract


Role Summary

We are seeking a Databricks Engineer to build of a new Databricks solution that ingests source files and constructs a semantic/serving layer that powers a Power BI dashboard. A semantic layer already exists; the new solution must conform to the same structure so that a replicated Power BI solution works seamlessly against it with no rework to reports, measures, or relationships. The engineer owns the Databricks data and semantic layer and partners with a dedicated Power BI developer/team, who own the dashboard build, to deliver the end solution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and delivery of file-ingestion pipelines in Azure Databricks (batch and/or streaming) that land and process incoming files into Delta Lake using a Medallion architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold).
  • Design the Gold/serving layer to replicate the existing semantic model exactly — matching table names, grain, column names, data types, keys, and relationships so the existing Power BI dataset can be repointed without redesign.
  • Expose the model through Databricks SQL endpoints (Direct Query) so the Power BI developer can connect and validate the dashboard with no redesign.
  • Collaborate with the Power BI developer/team as the data-side owner — align on the semantic contract (star schema, measures, RLS expectations), support their dashboard build, and resolve any data or model issues to land the end deliverable.
  • Document the semantic mapping and work with the Power BI team to reconcile the replicated dashboard's output against the existing solution to prove parity.

Required Skills

  • AWS Databricks, Delta Lake, Medallion architecture, Unity Catalog
  • Python and strong SQL
  • Databricks SQL endpoints and a working understanding of Power BI semantic modeling (star schema, DAX, incremental refresh, RLS) sufficient to define and hand off the semantic contract
  • Databricks Certified Data Engineer (Professional preferred)
