Job description

Python Data Scientist / Data Engineer

Python Data Scientist / Data Engineer (PySpark, ETL, Notebooks, Databricks) Summary We're hiring a versatile Python Data Scientist / Data Engineer to design, implement, and productionize scalable data pipelines and analytics workflows.

The role requires deep PySpark experience, strong ETL design, experience with interactive notebooks, and familiarity with Databricks or similar managed Spark platforms.

Key responsibilities

* Design and build robust ETL/ELT pipelines using PySpark for batch and near-real-time workflows.

* Develop, optimize, and schedule Spark jobs on Databricks (or equivalent Spark environment).

* Work with data scientists and product teams to transform business requirements into data models, features, and dashboards.

* Implement data validation, monitoring, and lineage to ensure data quality and reliability.

* Create reproducible notebooks for exploration, prototyping, and handoff to production pipelines.

* Tune performance of Spark jobs (memory, partitioning, shuffle reduction) and optimize cluster usage.

* Collaborate on building CI/CD for data workflows, including tests for data transformations and schema changes.

* Document architecture, ETL processes, and best practices.

Required qualifications

* 3+ years experience in data engineering, data science, or analytics engineering roles.

* Strong Python programming and hands-n PySpark experience developing data transformations at scale.

* Experience with Databricks (jobs, clusters, Delta Lake) or equivalent managed Spark platforms.

* Solid understanding of ETL/ELT patterns, data modeling, and data warehousing concepts.

* Comfortable using Jupyter or Databricks notebooks for exploration and prototyping.

* Experience with SQL and working knowledge of cloud data storage systems (S3, ADLS) and databases.

* Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and awareness of CI/CD for data pipelines.
