The work centers on Databricks as the calculation platform, interactive data applications that reduce spreadsheet dependency, and connected reporting across demand, actuals, and portfolio data. You will join a cross-functional team with strong knowledge of planning processes, reporting needs, and business data. In this role, you will design and maintain production-ready data pipelines, curated datasets, and reusable data products that reduce manual work, improve reporting speed, and give teams clearer insight for decision-making. This role helps improve planning speed, forecast confidence, and operational visibility for engineering teams that depend on consistent resource and portfolio data. What You'll Do (Responsibilities) * Build and maintain scalable data pipelines, curated Databricks data models, and reusable datasets that support reporting, analytics, downstream applications, and decision support. * Partner with analysts, technical teams, and business stakeholders to translate resource demand, portfolio, workforce, finance, and actuals needs into reliable data products and workflows. * Improve data trust and usability through data quality checks, validation logic, metadata, lineage, documentation, standards, monitoring, and clear ownership practices. * Automate manual processes, optimize data delivery, and support interactive reporting or application experiences that reduce spreadsheet dependency and improve access to consistent insights. * Develop datasets and delivery mechanisms for scenario modeling, capacity versus demand analysis, utilization reporting, forecast support, and leadership planning insights. * Write reusable code, create repeatable data structures, and resolve data-related technical issues to improve development quality, scalability, and long-term supportability., This role is based remotely, but if the selected candidate lives within a specific mile radius of a GM hub, they will be expected to report to the location three times a week {or other frequency dictated by your manager}. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
