About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Data Engineer who is comfortable writing production-grade SQL, designing scalable ADF pipelines, and most importantly — questioning the data itself, not just moving it. You'll work across the data platform, from ingestion through reporting, turning undocumented source data into consistent, reliable, and well-governed assets. This is not a role for someone who wants to just build pipelines and move on; we're looking for someone who takes ownership of data quality and integrity end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and optimize scalable, fault-tolerant data pipelines for ingestion and processing.
- Write and maintain complex SQL stored procedures, views, and functions following engineering standards.
- Analyze data patterns to identify inconsistencies and anomalies, and perform rigorous data validation.
- Build and enforce data quality, validation frameworks, and automated testing to ensure data integrity.
- Document data models, pipelines, and data dictionaries for both technical and business stakeholders.




- Proactively seek clarification on ambiguous requirements and exercise independent judgment on technical design.
- Contribute to and enforce engineering standards (SQL, ADF, Python, Git branching conventions).
- Conduct peer code reviews using Git-based workflows.

Must-Have Skills
- 7–14 years of experience in Data Engineering.
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure Databricks, Azure SQL Server, and Azure Data Factory (ADF).
- Strong SQL skills (T-SQL is a plus).
- Python with PySpark, DataFrames, and API integrations.
- Proven experience building and optimizing production-grade ETL/data pipelines.
- Robust analytical and problem-solving skills — ability to critically evaluate data, not just process it.
- Strong documentation and communication skills.
- Stable job history with good communication skills.

Good to Have
- CI/CD & DevOps release pipelines.
- YAML configurations.
- AI/MCP tooling with LLM work
