• Design and build enterprise-scale data architectures — including data lakes, warehouses, and real-time streaming pipelines
• Develop and maintain high-performance ETL/ELT pipelines that process large volumes of structured and unstructured data
• Implement and optimise data transformations in Databricks using PySpark, Python, and SQL, ensuring quality, scalability, and cost-efficiency
• Collaborate and mentor — guide junior engineers, review code, and drive adoption of best practices in data engineering and DevOps
• Integrate and automate data flows using APIs, AWS services (Glue, Redshift, S3, EMR, Lambda), and real-time tools like Kafka or Kinesis
• Monitor and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks, ensuring reliability, consistency, and security across all data operation
