Position Overview 

We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and evolve scalable data pipelines, data models, and data products on our analytics platform. This role focuses on building reliable, batch-first ETL/ELT systems on Databricks and Spark that transform structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data into high-quality, AI-consumable datasets — supporting Search, Recommendations, Marketing, and Supply Chain analytics. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can translate ambiguous business needs into production-grade data solutions, drive engineering best practices, and mentor peers while collaborating with architects, data scientists, and product teams. 

Key Responsibilities 

🔹 Data Pipeline & Platform Development 

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest and transform structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data 

• Develop high-fidelity data pipelines on Databricks/Spark optimized for reliability, cost, performance, and data freshness 

• Build curated datasets, embeddings-ready data, feature layers, and semantic abstractions that are AI/ML-consumable for downstream systems 

• Implement ingestion, transformation, and serving layers across Data Lake / Lakehouse architectures with a focus on efficient retrieval and contextual usability 

🔹 Data Modeling & Architecture 

• Develop and maintain robust data models including fact/dimension models, SCDs, wide tables, and CDC pipelines 

• Apply data versioning, incremental processing, partitioning, and clustering strategies to ensure consistency, reproducibility, and cost efficiency 

• Contribute to architectural decisions and trade-offs across storage, compute, and orchestration layers within the analytics platform 

• Help define and uphold data modeling standards, data contracts, and quality frameworks across teams 

🔹 Analytics, AI & ML Enablement 

• Prepare high-quality datasets for ML model consumption, feature engineering workflows, and predictive/forecasting use cases 

• Contribute to a unified semantic layer that standardizes metrics, reusable definitions, and improves data access patterns 

• Partner with Data Science teams to operationalize feature pipelines and support model training, serving, and monitoring 

🔹 Quality, Governance & Reliability 

• Implement data quality checks, contracts, and observability to ensure SLA/SLO adherence across pipelines 

• Work with metadata, lineage, and data discovery frameworks to improve transparency, governance, and trust in data 

• Drive improvements in pipeline reliability, monitoring, and incident response across the data ecosystem 

🔹 Collaboration & Technical Leadership 

• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Analytics, and Data Science to translate ambiguous business problems into reusable data assets 

• Mentor junior engineers, review code/designs, and raise the bar for engineering quality and best practices 

• Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and system designs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders 
  
  

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience 

Technical Skills 

• Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python, with strong focus on query optimization, cost efficiency, and large-scale data processing 

• Hands-on experience with Databricks, Apache Spark, and distributed processing frameworks 

• Strong experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and workflow orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, or similar) 

• Solid understanding of Data Lake / Lakehouse architectures, storage formats (Parquet, Delta/Iceberg), partitioning, clustering, and performance tuning 

• Deep expertise in data modeling: fact/dimension models, SCDs, wide tables, CDC, data versioning, and incremental processing 

• Experience with event-driven and streaming architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis) applied pragmatically alongside batch where needed 

Cloud & DevOps 

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) 

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code for data systems 

Reliability, Observability & Governance 

• Experience building production-grade data systems with strong data quality, observability, and SLA/SLO practices 

• Familiarity with metadata management, data lineage, and data discovery tools (e.g., DataHub, OpenMetadata, Amundsen) 

AI / ML & Analytics (Preferred) 

• Experience enabling AI/ML use cases from a data perspective — preparing datasets, feature stores, embeddings, or semantic/metric layers (dbt, Cube, LookML) 

• Exposure to BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and KPI modeling for business stakeholders 

Domain Knowledge (Preferred) 

• Experience in Supply Chain, Logistics, or Healthcare supply chain analytics is a strong plus 

• Familiarity with domains such as Search, Recommendations, or Marketing analytics 

Soft Skills

A Note on Our Hiring Process: We do not use AI to automatically screen or reject candidates. However, we do use specific screening questions to prioritize the most relevant applications for human review.

At Tecsys, we welcome the thoughtful use of AI tools to help you prepare your application, for example, to improve clarity, organize your resume, or practice interview responses. However, we ask that all information you provide reflects your real experience, and that any assessments or written submissions represent your own work and thinking.

During interviews, we expect candidates to engage without the use of AI tools, scripts, or real-time assistance. Authentic, direct conversation helps us get to know how you think, collaborate, and communicate. AI can support your preparation, but it shouldn’t speak or act on your behalf.
