Databricks Engineer

We are seeking a Databricks Engineer to design build and operate a Data & AI platform with a strong foundation in the Medallion Architecture (raw / bronze curated / silver and mart / gold layers). This platform will orchestrate complex data workflows and scalable ELT pipelines to integrate data from enterprise systems such as PeopleSoft D2L and Salesforce delivering high-quality governed data for machine learning AI / BI and analytics at scale.

You will play a critical role in engineering the infrastructure and workflows that enable seamless data flow across the enterprise ensure operational excellence and provide the backbone for strategic decision-making predictive modeling and innovation.

Responsibilities :

1. Data & AI Platform Engineering (Databricks-Centric) :

Design implement and optimize end-to-end data pipelines on Databricks following the Medallion Architecture principles.

Build robust and scalable ETL / ELT pipelines using Apache Spark and Delta Lake to transform raw (bronze) data into trusted curated (silver) and analytics-ready (gold) data layers.

Operationalize Databricks Workflows for orchestration dependency management and pipeline automation.

Apply schema evolution and data versioning to support agile data development.

2. Platform Integration & Data Ingestion :

Connect and ingest data from enterprise systems such as PeopleSoft D2L and Salesforce using APIs JDBC or other integration frameworks.

Implement connectors and ingestion frameworks that accommodate structured semi-structured and unstructured data.

Design standardized data ingestion processes with automated error handling retries and alerting.

3. Data Quality Monitoring and Governance :

Develop data quality checks validation rules and anomaly detection mechanisms to ensure data integrity across all layers.

Integrate monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Databricks metrics Grafana) to track ETL performance latency and failures.

Implement Unity Catalog or equivalent tools for centralized metadata management data lineage and governance policy enforcement.

4. Security Privacy and Compliance :

Enforce data security best practices including row-level security encryption at rest / in transit and fine-grained access control via Unity Catalog.

Design and implement data masking tokenization and anonymization for compliance with privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR FERPA).

Work with security teams to audit and certify compliance controls.
