x Knowledge of data warehouse design and star/snowflake schema modeling.

## Description

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., 1. Data & AI Platform Engineering (Databricks-Centric): x Design, implement, and optimize end-to-end data pipelines on Databricks, following the Medallion Architecture principles. x 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. x Operationalize Databricks Workflows for orchestration, dependency management, and pipeline automation. x Apply schema evolution and data versioning to support agile data development.

 2. Platform Integration & Data Ingestion: x Connect and ingest data from enterprise systems such as PeopleSoft, D2L, and Salesforce using APIs, JDBC, or other integration frameworks. x Implement connectors and ingestion frameworks that accommodate structured, semistructured, and unstructured data. x Design standardized data ingestion processes with automated error handling, retries, and alerting.
 3. Data Quality, Monitoring, and Governance: x Develop data quality checks, validation rules, and anomaly detection mechanisms to ensure data integrity across all layers. x Integrate monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Databricks metrics, Grafana) to track ETL performance, latency, and failures. x Implement Unity Catalog or equivalent tools for centralized metadata management, data lineage, and governance policy enforcement.
 4. Security, Privacy, and Compliance: x Enforce data security best practices including row-level security, encryption at rest/in transit, and fine-grained access control via Unity Catalog. x Design and implement data masking, tokenization, and anonymization for compliance with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, FERPA). x Work with security teams to audit and certify compliance controls.
 5. AI/ML-Ready Data Foundation: x Enable data scientists by delivering high-quality, feature-rich data sets for model training and inference. x Support AIOps/MLOps lifecycle workflows using MLflow for experiment tracking, model registry, and deployment within Databricks. x Collaborate with AI/ML teams to create reusable feature stores and training pipelines.
 6. Cloud Data Architecture and Storage: x Architect and manage data lakes on Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) or Amazon S3, and design ingestion pipelines to feed the bronze layer. x Build data marts and warehousing solutions using platforms like Databricks. x Optimize data storage and access patterns for performance and cost-efficiency.
 7. Documentation & Enablement: x Maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, and runbooks for all pipelines and components. x Provide training and enablement sessions to internal stakeholders on the Databricks platform, Medallion Architecture, and data governance practices. x Conduct code reviews and promote reusable patterns and frameworks across teams.
 8. Reporting and Accountability: x Submit a weekly schedule of hours worked and progress reports outlining completed tasks, upcoming plans, and blockers. x Track deliverables against roadmap milestones and communicate risks or dependencies.
