• Ingest structured and semi-structured data from diverse sources (e.g., S3, ADLS, GCS, Kafka) into raw and curated data zones.

• Implement data transformation, normalization, aggregation, and joining logic using SQL and Python.

• Ensure data quality, accuracy, and integrity through robust design and support for automated validation and monitoring.

• Collaborate with business & data analysts, data scientists, and QA engineers to align pipeline outputs with business and analytic needs.

• Participate in developing and enforcing data modeling and governance standards (e.g., star/snowflake schema, data lineage, metadata tagging).

• Build and support privacy-aware data-sharing mechanisms such as Snowflake Clean Rooms and Databricks Delta Sharing.

• Monitor and optimize pipeline performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across cloud environments.

• Document architecture, data flows, and transformation logic for auditability and team collaboration.

• Integrate pipelines into CI/CD frameworks using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Science, or a related field, or 0-2 years of relevant experience (including internships or academic projects) in data engineering, ETL development, or related areas.

• Proficiency in SQL with the ability to handle complex joins, aggregations, and window functions.

• Familiarity with data formats like Parquet, Avro, JSON, and Delta Lake.

• Working knowledge of Python for scripting, data transformation, or pipeline development.

• Understanding of cloud data platforms such as AWS (S3, Glue), Azure (Data Lake, Synapse), or GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow).

• Exposure to batch and streaming architectures, and awareness of their trade-offs.

• Good documentation and collaboration skills with a growth mindset and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Apache Airflow, dbt, or other workflow orchestration tools.

• Experience developing in Databricks notebooks or Snowflake SQL worksheets.

• Familiarity with distributed computing frameworks such as Apache Spark or Delta Live Tables.
