Data Engineer – Azure Data Platform & Graph

Experience: 5–8 years

Location: India

Role Summary A hands-on, build-and-run role: writing and operating the ETL/ELT pipelines, lakehouse tables, and graph data models that bring data from many enterprise source systems into a governed, analytics- and AI-ready platform. Day to day, this means writing transformation code, debugging failed pipeline runs, and modeling connected data directly in both property-graph (Cosmos DB Gremlin) and RDF/semantic-graph (SPARQL, Turtle) stores — not just designing on a whiteboard.

Key Responsibilities

Build, schedule, and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines — extracting from source systems, transforming with PySpark/Spark SQL, and loading into bronze/silver/gold lakehouse tables — using Fabric Data Factory pipelines and Dataflow Gen2 (or ADF/equivalent)

Write and maintain transformation logic for incremental loads, change data capture (CDC), deduplication, slowly changing dimensions (SCD), and schema evolution

Hands-on troubleshooting of failed or delayed pipeline runs — diagnosing root cause, fixing transformation bugs, and rebuilding/backfilling data as needed

Model and query graph data (vertices, edges, properties) directly in Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin, writing and optimizing Gremlin traversals for relationship-heavy and knowledge-graph use cases

Write SPARQL queries and author Turtle (.ttl) files to populate and query RDF-based knowledge graphs, working with a triplestore such as Graphwise GraphDB

Build and publish data products aligned to data mesh principles — clear ownership, documented contracts, and discoverability for consuming teams

Register, tag, and maintain lineage for data assets in an enterprise data catalog to support governed, self-service discovery

Write data quality checks, schema validation rules, and pipeline monitoring/alerting across the ingestion-to-consumption flow

Tune pipeline performance, partitioning strategy,



and cost/throughput trade-offs across relational, NoSQL, and graph stores

Collaborate with data architects, analytics engineers, and AI/ML teams to expose curated, trustworthy data for downstream consumption (BI, RAG/agentic AI, ML)

Required Skills & Experience

5+ years hands-on building and operating ETL/ELT pipelines in production, across relational, NoSQL, and graph data stores

Strong Python for pipeline and transformation development (PySpark, pandas, or equivalent) — comfortable writing and debugging transformation code daily

Hands-on experience building pipelines on a modern Azure data platform (e.g., Microsoft Fabric, or Azure Synapse/Databricks-equivalent) — Data Factory/Dataflow Gen2, Spark notebooks, Delta Lake tables

Practical experience implementing medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture, including incremental loads, CDC, deduplication, SCD, and schema evolution handling

Hands-on with Azure Cosmos DB, including the Gremlin (graph) API — writing vertex/edge data models, partition key design, and Gremlin queries/traversals

Working knowledge of RDF/semantic graph technologies — writing SPARQL queries and authoring Turtle (.ttl) files, using a triplestore such as Graphwise GraphDB (or equivalent, e.g., Amazon Neptune, Stardog)

Strong SQL — writing and optimizing complex transformation and analytical queries

Experience building integrations across multiple heterogeneous source systems (databases, SaaS applications, APIs, files)

Working knowledge of data catalog / metadata management practices (lineage, classification, glossary)

Understanding of data mesh concepts — data as a product, domain ownership, and self-serve data platforms

Preferred

Exposure to the broader semantic web stack — RDF/RDFS, OWL, SHACL, SKOS — for ontology-driven knowledge graph work

Experience with pipeline orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, or Fabric's Airflow-based orchestration)

Exposure to enterprise data mesh implementations, including federated governance models





Familiarity with Microsoft Purview (or equivalent) for enterprise-wide metadata, data map, and unified catalog capabilities

Experience with real-time/streaming ingestion (e.g., Eventstream, KQL, or equivalent)

Exposure to data preparation for vector stores / RAG-style AI consumption

Relevant platform certification (e.g., Microsoft Certified: Fabric Data Engineer Associate)

Production experience across multiple major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and GCP)

Education

Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or related field
