- Establish data governance, naming conventions, and access controls
Data Engineering & Integration
- Build robust data pipelines and API integrations using Python
- Develop scalable transformation logic using PySpark / Spark
- Implement monitoring, logging, and testing across pipelines
Analytics & Reporting Enablement
- Create curated datasets to support business reporting
- Design analytics-ready data models (fact/dimension structures)
- Support dashboard development in Power BI (or similar)
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define and validate KPIs
What We’re Looking For
- Strong hands-on data engineering experience (not purely architectural)
- Proven experience building production-grade data pipelines
- Expertise in Azure Databricks, Python & PySpark, Azure Data Lake (ADLS), REST API integrations
- Experience with data modelling and BI/reporting layers
- Understanding of data governance and best practices
