Role description
DataBricks Engineer
You must have
• At least 2 years of commercial Databricks experience (current)
• Strong AWS Skills
• Be able to work 2 days a week onsite in Central London
• Ideally have worked on a large scale DataBricks migration project previously
• Strong understanding of Medallion Architecture
• DataBricks certification would be welcome but we prefer hands on experience over theoretical
The Role
Red Badger is looking for a DataBricks Engineer to join our Data & AI practice. This is a delivery-focused role: you'll work directly with clients and Red Badger consultants, from all the cross functional disciplines, to shape complex technical solutions as an output from discovery phase, and then lead a team of data engineers to build the solution through to production. You'll work closely with the Director, Data & AI, and partner on pre-sales and proposals to add technical credibility and deepen our client partnerships.
You love solving complex problems, and customer value is your north star. You are comfortable consulting with technology stakeholders outside of your team. You are a technology polyglot, and an evangelist for agile ways of working.
Day to day, you will spend roughly half of your time hands on, pairing with data engineers on the team, and helping them pick the right design to solve the problem. In the other half, you’ll be supporting the other functions (delivery, product, software engineering) and our clients with decisions impacted by the technical strategy of the project and providing support and line management to data engineers on your team.
