ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer with deep expertise in PySpark and the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) to join our data engineering team. As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable data pipelines that ensure high data quality and availability across the organization. This role requires a strong background in big data ecosystems, cloud-native tools, and advanced data processing techniques.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with data ingestion, transformation, and optimization on the Cloudera Data Platform, along with a proven track record of implementing data engineering best practices. You will work closely with other data engineers to build solutions that drive impactful business insights.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Data Pipeline Development: Design, develop, and maintain highly scalable and optimized ETL pipelines using PySpark on the Cloudera Data Platform, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.
• Data Ingestion: Implement and manage data ingestion processes from a variety of sources (e.g., relational databases, APIs, file systems) to the data lake or data warehouse on CDP.
• Data Transformation and Processing: Use PySpark to process, cleanse, and transform large datasets into meaningful formats that support analytical needs and business requirements.
• Performance Optimization: Conduct performance tuning of PySpark code and Cloudera components, optimizing resource utilization and reducing runtime of ETL processes.
• Data Quality and Validation: Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and validation routines to ensure data accuracy and reliability throughout the pipeline.
• Automation and Orchestration: Automate data workflows using tools like Apache Oozie, Airflow, or similar orchestration tools within the Cloudera ecosystem.
• Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor pipeline performance, troubleshoot issues, and perform routine maintenance on the Cloudera Data Platform and associated data processes.
• Collaboration: Work closely with other data engineers, analysts, product managers, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements and support various data-driven initiatives.

• Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of data engineering processes, code, and pipeline configurations.
