Job Summary

Role Summary:

The Data Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and operating high-quality,
scalable, and reusable data services that support analytics, AI, and GenAI use cases
across business domains.
In this role, you will design and work hands-on with data pipelines, data models,
orchestration frameworks, storage layers, and observability tooling.
You will collaborate closely with AI Engineers, Data Scientists, Product Owners, and
Platform teams to deliver reliable, well-governed, and self-service data products.

Key Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Data Platform & Services Engineering
• Build and maintain scalable data pipelines and ingestion frameworks for batch,
  streaming, and event-driven data.
• Develop and maintain modular data models and semantic layers optimized for
  analytics, BI self-service and AI use cases.
• Implement and operate orchestration workflows (e.g., Databricks Workflows)
  and compute engines (Spark, SQL, Python).
• Work with storage technologies such as Delta Lake, ADLS, feature and vector
  stores.
• Data Quality, Governance & Observability
• Implement data quality checks, validations, and monitoring to ensure reliability
  and trust in data products.
• Contribute to data lineage, metadata management, and documentation.
• Apply observability practices using tools such as Great Expectations or Monte

• Ensure compliance with data governance standards and regulations (e.g., GDPR)
  in collaboration with data governance teams.
• Enablement for AI & Analytics Use Cases
• Deliver curated datasets and reusable data assets for analytics, machine
  learning, and GenAI applications.
• Build pipelines that process structured, graph, and unstructured data (e.g., text,
  documents, images).
• Support AI Engineering teams with data preparation for embeddings, vector
  stores, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
• Tooling & Self-Service
• Contribute to data engineering tooling and frameworks that enable e Sicient
  development and deployment of pipelines.
• Develop data pipelines using tools such as dbt and Databricks Lakeflow.
• Support reuse of data services through clear documentation, data contracts,
  templates, and examples.
• Collaboration & Ways of Working
• Collaborate with Data Scientists, AI Engineers, Product Owners, Business SMEs,
  and Platform teams.
• Participate in technical design discussions, code reviews, and architecture
  forums.
