• ability to diagnose and optimise slow SQL queries on large Delta tables using a structured approach,

• experience using Databricks Asset Bundles for infrastructure and deployment as code,

• experience working with Unity Catalog to centralize data governance,

• experience working in complex, data‑intensive environments with large datasets,

• good understanding of data modeling and data quality concepts,

• practical experience using AI-powered assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to improve productivity, quality, or decision-making in software delivery,

• work from the European Union region and a work permit are required.

Nice to have:

• familiarity with CI/CD practices for data platforms,
• experience collaborating in cross‑functional, agile teams,
• experience with streaming data architectures,
• exposure to data platform cost optimization,
• experience mentoring or supporting other data engineers,
• knowledge of wider AWS data ecosystem services.

• experience applying GenAI in a more structured way within the SDLC, including defined workflows, prompt patterns, or tool integrations embedded into daily work,

• interest in and familiarity with emerging AI-driven practices (e.g. agent-based workflows, automation patterns, AI-augmented development), with a willingness to explore and experiment beyond standard approaches.
