Location: Remote – India Department: Insights (AI/ML)
Reports to: Data Platform & Analytics Manager
About the Role:
Irth is building a modern, multi-cloud, enterprise-grade data estate—a unified Databricks-based data platform that centralizes data across Irth's products and cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and GCP.As a Data Engineer, you will play a hands-on implementation role, working closely with the Senior Data Architect to bring the enterprise data platform vision to life. You will design and develop data pipelines based on established architectural patterns, implement data quality and governance controls, build Delta Lake and medallion architecture solutions, and help operationalize the new data platform. This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level Data Engineer looking to deepen their expertise in Databricks, Apache Spark, cloud data engineering, and modern lakehouse architecture while working in a multi-cloud enterprise environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Build, maintain, and enhance data ingestion pipelines across AWS, Azure, and GCP, following architecture and engineering patterns established by the Senior Data Architect.
Develop both batch and streaming pipelines using:
- Databricks Workflows
- Apache Spark / PySparkSQLDelta Live Tables
- Databricks Lakeflow components
Implement Bronze → Silver → Gold medallion architecture patterns for ingestion, transformation, cleansing, and standardization.
Implement Change Data Capture (CDC) and Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD Type 1 and Type 2).Handle schema evolution and changing source-system structures.
Implement data validation, reconciliation, and quality rules as part of pipeline processing.
Build reusable and maintainable pipeline components following established engineering standards.
Configure and maintain Delta Lake storage structures, tables, schemas, partitions, and optimization routines.
Apply Delta Lake performance and maintenance practices, including:
OPTIMIZEZ-ORDERVACUUMAppropriate partitioning and file-management strategies
Assist with implementation of metadata, cataloging, and lineage standards using Unity Catalog.
Support integration between cloud storage platforms and Databricks, including:
Amazon S3 → Databricks
Azure Storage → Databricks
Google Cloud Storage → Databricks
Assist with implementation of scalable storage and processing patterns defined by the Data Architect.
Implement automated data-quality checks, profiling, validation, and monitoring in accordance with enterprise governance standards.
Apply data-quality rules at appropriate stages of the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers.
Implement RBAC policies, security controls, and data-classification tags defined by the enterprise governance model.
Support implementation of metadata and lineage mapping across Unity Catalog and Microsoft Purview.
Help ensure datasets are properly documented, classified, governed, and discoverable.
Support remediation of data-quality and governance issues identified through monitoring or reviews.
Build, schedule, monitor, and maintain production workflows using:
Databricks Workflows
Delta Live TablesAzure Data Factory (ADF)
Other approved orchestration tools
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for data-engineering code, including source control, automated testing, deployment, and environment management.
Support DEV → QA → PROD promotion processes.
Monitor production pipelines and respond to failures and data-quality issues.
Troubleshoot failed jobs, investigate root causes, and support pipeline recovery.
Perform performance tuning across Spark jobs, SQL workloads, Delta tables, and data pipelines.
Participate in operational improvements that increase pipeline reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Work directly with the Senior Data Architect to translate architecture designs and technical standards into actionable implementation tasks.
Participate in architecture reviews, technical design discussions, coding reviews, and engineering standards meetings.
Collaborate with Data Scientists, ML Engineers, Analysts, Product teams, and other engineering stakeholders to understand data requirements.
Document:
Data pipelines
Data flows
Data dictionaries
Transformation logic
Data-quality rules
Test cases
Job schedules
Operational procedures
Maintain clear and accurate technical documentation to support platform adoption, troubleshooting, and future development.
Provide implementation feedback to the Data Architect and identify opportunities to improve platform patterns, tooling, and developer experience.
Role ScopeThis is primarily an implementation-focused Data Engineering role. The Senior Data Architect will establish the overall platform architecture, standards, and design patterns; the Data Engineer will translate those patterns into reliable, production-ready pipelines and platform capabilities.
The role provides an opportunity to gain deeper hands-on experience with Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, cloud data platforms, data governance, and multi-cloud lakehouse engineering while contributing to a strategic enterprise data platform.
