  • Proven ability to implement robust PySpark solutions.
  • Hands‑on experience with Databricks Workflows & orchestration.
  • Solid knowledge of Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold).
  • Significant experience designing or rebuilding batch‑heavy data pipelines.
  • Strong background in query optimization, performance tuning, and Spark shuffle optimization.
  • Ability to handle and process tens of millions of records efficiently.
  • Familiarity with Genie enablement concepts (understanding required; deep experience optional).
  • Experience with CI/CD, environment setup, and Git-based development workflows.
  • Solid understanding of AWS cloud, including:
  • IAM
  • Networking fundamentals
  • Storage integration (S3, Glue Catalog, etc.)

Preferred Experience

  • Knowledge of streaming frameworks such as Spark Structured Streaming.
