  • Develop optimized PySpark and/or Scala pipelines using advanced Spark techniques:
    • Catalyst optimizer tuning
    • Cluster sizing and autoscaling strategies
    • Adaptive Query Execution (AQE)
    • Efficient join strategies (broadcast vs. shuffle)
  • Build and maintain:
    • High-volume batch ETL pipelines (100M+ records)
    • Low-latency streaming pipelines using Spark Structured Streaming
  • Implement CI/CD for Databricks environments, including:
