Specialist Engineer- Data

As a Specialty Engineer - Data  you have the unique opportunity to challenge the status quo aiding the growth and defining the future of cloud data consumption for Enterprise Organizations.

While cloud technology has accelerated organizational change the process of operationalizing governing and deriving value from data pipelines has been slow to evolve. This is your opportunity to be at the forefront of defining the next chapter of modern Data Engineeringspanning traditional batch workloads to cutting-edge real-time data streaming patterns on Azure and GCP.

The successful candidate will evangelize the benefits of a modern ELT-first approach driving continuous iterative improvement to our data platform. You wont just build pipelines; you will architect data-driven solutions that directly inform executive decision-making and operational excellence.

Job Requirements:

• Design and Development: Design build and optimize robust and scalable ETL/ELT data pipelines to ingest and process large volumes of data using Azure and GCP services (e.g. Azure Data Factory Azure Synapse/Databricks GCP Dataflow Cloud Data Fusion or Cloud Functions).

• Data Modeling and Warehousing: Develop and maintain optimized data models (e.g. dimensional vault) within multi-cloud data warehouse solutions (e.g. Google BigQuery or Azure Synapse Analytics) or data lakes to support BI reporting and analytical workloads. This includes ensuring data structures are optimized for consumption by tools like Power BI and Looker.

• Performance Tuning: Monitor troubleshoot and optimize the performance of data warehouse queries and compute resources (e.g. BigQuery slots Azure Synapse SQL pools or Databricks/Dataproc clusters) to ensure cost-efficiency and fast data retrieval.

• AI Data Foundation:

  • Feature Engineering: Collaborate with Data Scientists to design and implement feature stores and pipelines to prepare and serve data for ML model training and inference.

  • Vector Database Integration: Develop and maintain pipelines for transforming unstructured data (text documents) into embeddings and loading them into vector databases (e.g. Azure Cosmos DB GCP Vertex AI Vector Search or dedicated vector stores) to support RAG solutions.

  • Data Orchestration: Implement workflows (e.g. using Apache Airflow Google Cloud Composer or Azure Data Factory/Logic Apps) to automate the end-to-end data lifecycle for AI/ML processes including data refresh and model retraining.

MLOps and Productionization:

• Model Deployment: Work with Data Science teams to containerize deploy and manage machine learning models in production environments (e.g. using GCP Vertex AI Azure Machine Learning or AKS/GKE).

• Monitoring and Logging: Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions for production ML pipelines and models to track performance data drift and model decay using Azure Monitor or GCP Cloud Monitoring.

• CI/CD for ML: Integrate model training testing and deployment into CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid reliable and automated updates to production ML services.

• Security and Governance: Implement and manage security best practices across Azure GCP and Snowflake including access controls role-based security (RBAC) IAM policies and data encryption.

• Coding and Automation: Write complex efficient SQL queries and develop scripts in Python (or other relevant languages like Scala/Java) for data manipulation process automation and pipeline orchestration.

• Collaboration: Work closely with data analysts data scientists and business stakeholders to understand data requirements and deliver high-quality actionable data solutions including setting up data sources and datasets for BI tools like Power BI and Looker.

• Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation for data models data flows and ETL/ELT processes.

Qualifications :

Expertise You Bring:

• Cloud Data Platform Mastery: hands-on experience designing and operating data solutions using major Azure services (Blob Storage Data Factory Databricks Synapse) and/or GCP services (Cloud Storage BigQuery Dataflow Pub/Sub IAM).

• Transformation & Modeling: Expert in SQL and modern ELT methodologies using tools like dbt (Data Build Tool) for version-controlled production-grade data modeling within a modern cloud data warehouse (e.g. BigQuery Azure Synapse or Snowflake).

• BI & Reporting: Experience with BI tools specifically the configuration and optimization of data for use in Power BI or Looker.

• Engineering Excellence: Advanced proficiency in Python for complex data transformation API integrations and automation scripting. Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Apache Airflow Google Cloud Composer or Azure Data Factory).

• Machine Learning Engineering & MLOps:

  • Proven experience working with Data Scientists to build data and feature pipelines for ML.

  • Familiarity with ML lifecycle tools and frameworks (e.g. GCP Vertex AI Azure Machine Learning Kubeflow MLflow).

  • Understanding of machine learning model deployment serving monitoring and versioning best practices.

• Data Security & Governance: Expertise in applying security controls including encryption data masking and implementing role-based access control (RBAC) models in Azure and GCP data services.

• DevOps Capabilities: Familiarity with infrastructure as code (IaC) practices using Terraform (preferred for multi-cloud) or cloud-native tooling (Azure Bicep / GCP Deployment Manager) and experience with version control CI/CD pipelines and automation tools for cloud data services.

• Education & Experience: Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science Engineering or a quantitative field. 4 years of professional experience in a Data Engineering Software Engineering or Data Architecture role.

• Required Certifications: Must hold professional-level data/AI certifications in at least one of the major platforms such as:

  • Azure: Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate or Azure AI Engineer Associate.

  • GCP: Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer or Professional Machine Learning Engineer.
