* Work collaboratively with architects, analysts, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
* Mentor and support other engineers while contributing to engineering best practices and standards.
* Drive continuous improvement and innovation across the data platform.
* Strong commercial experience as a Data Engineer or Senior Data Engineer.
* Deep hands-on expertise with Databricks on AWS (essential).
* Strong understanding of Spark, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architectures.
* Proven experience designing scalable and maintainable modern data platforms.
