Position Summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic entry-level Data Engineer with a growing DevOps mindset to help build and maintain reliable, scalable data pipelines that power business functions across the enterprise. This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer to learn, grow, and build hands-on expertise โ€” you'll support the team in developing data pipelines, learn CI/CD and operational practices, and take on increasing responsibility under the guidance of senior engineers.

Core Skills

Databricks

  • Python (PySpark)

  • SQL

  • Data Pipelines

  • CI/CD

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Delivery:

  • Help build and maintain data pipelines on Databricks under guidance.

  • Develop ETL/ELT processes with attention to data quality, consistency, and scalability.

  • Contribute to reusable frameworks for ingestion, transformation, and reconciliation across source systems.

  • Follow established engineering standards โ€” coding standards, pipeline patterns, and ETL/ELT best practices.

Advertisment

Operations & DevOps

  • Assist with deploying changes through CI/CD and the Change Request (CR) lifecycle, including validation and ticket closure.

  • Participate in problem-solving and root-cause analysis, learning to drive permanent fixes over recurring firefighting.

  • Help monitor data workloads and support incident response with guidance from senior engineers.

Collaboration

  • Work with Reporting, Platform, and Business teams to help deliver curated datasets for downstream consumers.

  • Communicate progress and issues clearly to engineering peers and mentors.

  • Document workflows and runbooks to support reproducibility and knowledge sharing.

What Success Looks Like (First 6โ€“12 Months)

  • In your first 6โ€“12 months, you'll build a solid understanding of the data platform, confidently deliver assigned pipeline tasks, and become comfortable with CI/CD and operational practices โ€” with support from senior engineers.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

  • 1+ years of experience (including internships) in data engineering or a related area โ€” fresh graduates with relevant internships are encouraged to apply.

  • Foundational hands-on knowledge of Databricks, Python (PySpark), and SQL for data processing.

  • Exposure to building data pipelines (ETL/ELT), through projects, internships, or coursework.

  • Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) or willingness to learn.

  • Awareness of monitoring and observability concepts.

  • Good communication skills and eagerness to learn.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to orchestration frameworks or streaming technologies.

  • Basic familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and deployment tooling.

  • Awareness of observability tooling for data platforms.

  • Background or interest in semiconductor manufacturing or large-scale industrial data processing.

  • Any Databricks or cloud certification is a plus.
