You can navigate ambiguity, think critically, make pragmatic decisions, and drive outcomes from concept through production while working effectively with cross-functional global teams.
Key Responsibilities
• Contribute production-quality code and remain actively involved in development.
• Build and support data processing solutions using Azure Databricks (ADB), Azure Data Factory (ADF), Python, and SQL.
• Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance across application, data, and integration solutions.
• Collaborate with DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and other platform teams to ensure solutions are secure, supportable, and aligned with enterprise standards.
• Design, enhance, and support enterprise applications using Java and Angular.
• Evaluate technical trade-offs, identify risks, and guide design decisions with consideration for scalability, maintainability, security, and operational needs.
• Perform code reviews, mentor engineers, and guide technical decisions while considering system dependencies and downstream impacts.
• Support production systems through monitoring, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and incident resolution.
• Lead technical discussions with stakeholders and translate business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Contribute during critical production situations and help drive operational stability and continuous improvement.
