Monitor pipeline performance and apply best practices to ensure cost-effective Databricks usage.

Serve as the offshore lead, participating in design discussions, daily standups, and technical governance with client teams.

Long-Term Responsibilities:Lead technical planning and execution for ETL migration from Informatica, Glue, and Lambda into Databricks.

Drive evolution of modular code patterns, pipeline standardization, and DQ reusability across multiple data domains.

Guide junior engineers and ensure high delivery velocity with sustained code quality.

Collaborate with client architects to align platform capabilities with business and analytics needs.

Minimum Skills Required: Core Technical:10+ years in data engineering, with 3+ years of recent hands-on Databricks (AWS) experience.

Proficiency in PySpark, Delta Lake, Databricks Workflows, and structured streaming (if required).

Strong experience working with semi-structured data (JSON), including flattening and normalization strategies.

Experience writing performant pipelines that push processed data to Amazon Redshift.

Deep understanding of Databricks Asset Bundles (DAB) and how they support CI/CD, environment promotion, and modular code packaging.

Familiarity with CI/CD processes in Databricks including Git integration, testing, and environment management.

Strong grasp of data quality, validation, audit logging, and exception handling strategies.

Soft Skills & Leadership:Proven experience as an offshore team lead in a global delivery model.
