• Work with structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across diverse environments
• Develop approaches to source data from diverse platforms (flat files, databases, APIs, streams, etc.)
• Develop and maintain data transformation workflows in Databricks using Delta Lake, Spark notebooks, and Unity Catalog
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather data requirements and translate them into actionable data models
• Perform data quality checks and implement validation logic to ensure reliable outputs
• Create basic visualizations to support validation, exploration, and stakeholder communication
• Optimize performance of pipelines in cloud and distributed computing environments

• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Proactive in seeking opportunities to learn and grow skillset
• Prior experience in a consulting or client-facing role

Preferred:

• Advanced Databricks experience including Databricks Workflows/Jobs, Lakeflow Connect, Delta Live Tables (DLT), and performance tuning at scale
• Experience with modern Data and ML workflow tools (e.g., Airflow, MLflow)
• Familiarity with data visualization libraries or tools (e.g., matplotlib, Power BI, Tableau)
