You'll build and scale the data platform that powers decisions across Salmon - owning pipelines end to end so data flows reliably from source to insight.

What you'll do

• Design and run batch and streaming pipelines on Databricks and Apache Spark over AWS, ingesting from databases, APIs, and event streams.

What you'll own

• Manage Databricks Workflows, jobs, and cluster configurations, and respond to failures and performance issues.
• Implement data governance and access control with Unity Catalog across accounts and environments.
• Protect data correctness and reliability across the platform.

• Hands-on experience with Databricks and strong proficiency in Apache Spark (PySpark and/or Scala).
• Strong Python for data engineering, plus SQL and Spark SQL for transformation and analytics.
• Experience with Delta Lake and lakehouse architectures, including performance optimization.
• Experience writing clean, testable, maintainable code with Git-based version control.
