## Description

You are a data engineer responsible for building, maintaining, and keeping operational data pipelines and integrations that power modern lakehouse platforms on Databricks.
This role forms the technical backbone of our clients' data organizations. Without reliable data, no other part of the organization functions. You are familiar with software engineering and know your way around Databricks, building robust and scalable production systems. You enjoy not only bringing new products live, but also iterating and refining after go-live. What you do
You implement foundational data systems on Databricks to store, transform, and process data at scale. Security, reliability, and future growth are always in mind.
You explain your design choices, align team members, and help client teams make confident and informed decisions about their data landscape. You learn from experts from diverse fields and different environments and industries.
You work long-term with clients in the healthcare or banking domain. You build deep domain knowledge while delivering meaningful impact.
After go-live, you see what happens in practice and work on: - The edge cases and the slow leaks - Things that were "good enough" six months ago and that you now make excellent - Building a battle-tested system rather than an MVP
