- Data Refresh & Synchronization: Refresh datasets regularly, reconcile discrepancies, and maintain up‑to‑date information across downstream systems.
- Cluster Management: Support cluster‑level operations, including configuration alignment, performance tuning, and troubleshooting of distributed processing jobs.
- L3 Support & Issue Resolution: Provide Level‑3 technical support for data‑related incidents, diagnose root causes, and implement corrective actions.
- Tool Development: Contribute to the creation of parsers, validators, transformers, and correlators that reformat, enrich, and upgrade raw data.
- Collaboration & Communication: Act as a liaison between IT, business stakeholders, developers, and data analysts to translate requirements into actionable data solutions.
- Documentation & Best Practices: Document pipeline designs, code standards, and reusable components to promote knowledge sharing and future scalability.
- Mentorship: Offer guidance to junior team members and help foster a culture of continuous learning.
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- Strong foundation in software engineering principles, including object‑oriented programming and version control.
- Hands‑on experience (academic projects or internships) with data‑centric technologies such as SQL, NoSQL, and scripting languages (Python or Java).
- Familiarity with distributed processing frameworks (e.g., Spark) and an understanding of batch versus streaming data concepts.
