Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
• Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Experience building and operating Databricks Lakehouse solutions hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), including Amazon S3, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Key Management Service (KMS), basic networking concepts (VPC/security groups), and logging/auditing; Experience using Delta Lake (ACID-compliant tables, partitioning strategies, schema evolution) and Apache Spark on Databricks, including performance optimization (cluster sizing, skew mitigation, join strategies, caching, and file sizing/compaction); Experience delivering batch and streaming data pipelines (Structured Streaming, incremental processing, backfills, late-arriving data handling) and implementing governance/security controls in Databricks (e.g., Unity Catalog, table/column-level permissions, credential passthrough where applicable), with operational ownership including monitoring/alerting, incident response, root-cause analysis (RCA), and service level objective/service level agreement (SLO/SLA) management.
• Advanced in one or more programming language(s) including Python, PySpark
• Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security
• Architect Databricks Lakehouse solutions, including bronze/silver/gold (or equivalent) layering and domain-oriented data products; implement resilient, scalable ingestion from AWS sources into Databricks using batch and streaming patterns (including CDC where required).
• Build maintainable pipelines using Delta Live Tables (DLT) and/or Databricks Jobs/Workflows with modular design, documentation, and runbooks; ensure production readiness through retries, checkpointing, idempotency, safe re-runs, and defined replay/backfill procedures; implement testing practices including unit/integration tests, data quality checks, and contract testing; Apply governance-by-design controls (least privilege, PII classification, auditing, lineage/metadata, controlled sharing/consumption); optimize Spark/Delta performance and cost (cluster right-sizing, storage layout, job/warehouse spend); lead design/code reviews and mentor engineers; partner cross-functionally with stakeholders and security/platform teams; deliver CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code for Databricks + AWS with promotion across environments and strong version control/code review discipline.
