  • Building and optimising ETL/ELT pipelines with Databricks & Apache Spark
  • Designing scalable solutions using Azure Data Factory, Synapse & Data Lake
  • Implementing Delta Lake with ACID transactions and schema enforcement
  • Automating testing and CI/CD with Azure DevOps & Terraform
  • Driving data governance with Azure Purview & Unity Catalog
  • Developing real‑time data solutions with Event Hubs & Structured Streaming
  • Managing infrastructure as code and optimising cloud costs
  • Working closely with engineers, QA, Product Owner, and stakeholders

What we’re looking for:



  • Strong hands‑on experience with Azure & Databricks
  • Proficiency in Python, Spark SQL, and Terraform
  • Solid understanding of data governance and real‑time processing
  • Great communication skills and a collaborative mindset
