Senior Data Engineer IRC282113

Description
We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to support our client in optimising their Databricks Lakehouse setup and rebuilding key data pipelines to improve cost‑efficiency and performance. This role will be central to two workstreams:

– Databricks Environment Changes — implementing environment-level changes including data deletion and instance control.

– Pipeline Rebuild POC — rebuilding a critical pipeline to assess cost/performance trade‑offs (e.g. SCD Type 2 vs Type 1), then extrapolating findings across other pipelines.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of hands‑on experience in data engineering (or similar role) — ideally with substantial exposure to big data / lakehouse environments.
• Expert-level proficiency with Databricks/Spark.
• Deep understanding of data modelling — especially around SCD Type 1 vs Type 2 — and familiarity with Delta Lake, DLT vs traditional ELT pipelines.
• Proven track record in performance tuning and refactoring of complex data pipelines.
• Ability to benchmark and clearly document performance and cost differences; comfortable leading technical implementation.
• Excellent communication skills, and ability to mentor/guide other engineers.

Job responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and optimisation of the "Silver Claims" pipeline inside the DAVE2 POC environment.
• Implement technical improvements — e.g. SCD Type 2 modelling, removal of unnecessary DLT components, caching, and code refactoring.
• Set up monitoring and tagging to allow cost and performance comparison between baseline and optimized pipelines.
• Run pipelines in parallel, validate that output remains equivalent, and compare performance and cost metrics.
• Document pipeline architecture, build standards and reasoning behind optimisations for inclusion in deliverables.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to fellow Data Engineers; ensure compliance with internal (Nexus and AA) data‑engineering standards.
