Key Responsibilities:

Engineering & Delivery:

• Help build and maintain data pipelines on Databricks under guidance.
• Develop ETL/ELT processes with attention to data quality, consistency, and scalability.
• Contribute to reusable frameworks for ingestion, transformation, and reconciliation across source systems.
• Follow established engineering standards - coding standards, pipeline patterns, and ETL/ELT best practices.

Operations & DevOps:

• Assist with deploying changes through CI/CD and the Change Request (CR) lifecycle, including validation and ticket closure.
• Participate in problem-solving and root-cause analysis, learning to drive permanent fixes over recurring firefighting.
• Help monitor data workloads and support incident response with guidance from senior engineers.

Collaboration:

• Work with Reporting, Platform, and Business teams to help deliver curated datasets for downstream consumers.
• Communicate progress and issues clearly to engineering peers and mentors.
• Document workflows and runbooks to support reproducibility and knowledge sharing.

What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months):

• 1+ years of experience (including internships) in data engineering or a related area - fresh graduates with relevant internships are encouraged to apply.
• Foundational hands-on knowledge of Databricks, Python (PySpark), and SQL for data processing.
• Exposure to building data pipelines (ETL/ELT), through projects, internships, or coursework.
• Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) or willingness to learn.
• Awareness of monitoring and observability concepts.
• Good communication skills and eagerness to learn.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to orchestration frameworks or streaming technologies.
• Basic familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and deployment tooling.
• Awareness of observability tooling for data platforms.
• Background or interest in semiconductor manufacturing or large-scale industrial data processing.
• Any Databricks or cloud certification is a plus.

Competencies:

• Eagerness to learn and grow data engineering skills.
• Ownership mindset - takes pride in the quality of assigned work.
• Problem-solving orientation - curiosity and attention to detail.
