Data Scientist
Why this role matters
You’ll architect, build, and operate the data infrastructure that powers analytics, machine learning, and operational reporting across the organization. This is a hands-on role for a data scientist who thrives at the intersection of engineering, modeling, and production-grade systems.

What you’ll do

• Design and evolve our lakehouse architecture (Delta Lake on AWS/Azure), including storage layout, compute strategy (Databricks, EMR, Synapse), and performance SLAs
• Build robust batch and streaming data pipelines using Apache Spark (PySpark/Scala), Databricks Workflows, Azure Data Factory, and event-driven integrations (Kinesis, Event Hubs, Kafka)
• Develop and maintain analytical and ML-ready data models, semantic layers, and dimensional schemas for BI and production use
• Implement observability and reliability features including custom Spark metrics, anomaly detection, logging, and automated data quality checks
• Optimize compute and storage performance through cluster tuning, caching, partitioning, and format selection, with measurable cost savings
• Enforce data governance policies including RBAC, row-level security, cataloging, lineage tracking, and compliance with GDPR, HIPAA/FHIR, and CCPA/CDPA
• Collaborate with analytics, product, and platform teams to define SLAs, manage incident response, and guide data contract best practices
• Mentor junior engineers and lead design reviews, setting standards for scalable, maintainable data systems

What you bring

• 8+ years of experience in data science or data engineering
• Expert-level Python and SQL; working knowledge of Scala/Java for Spark
• 3–5+ years of experience with Apache Spark and Databricks (including Delta Live Tables and performance tuning)
• Strong cloud experience in AWS (S3, EMR, Glue, Lambda, Kinesis) and/or Azure (ADLS Gen2, ADF, Event Hubs, Synapse)
• Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, ADF) and transformation frameworks (dbt)
• Familiarity with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or Databricks SQL
• Proven track record of cost and performance optimization in cloud data environments
• Solid foundation in data modeling, CI/CD, Docker/Linux, and Git
• Ability to translate business needs into scalable data products and lead projects end-to-end

Nice to have

• Experience with custom Spark listeners, low-latency streaming, or event-driven architectures
• Exposure to healthcare data pipelines (FHIR) and DLT troubleshooting
• Dashboarding experience with Power BI, Tableau, or Looker
• Familiarity with governance frameworks and MLOps (feature stores, model monitoring)

Our stack
Databricks, Spark (PySpark/Scala), Delta Lake, Airflow, ADF, dbt, AWS (S3/EMR/Glue/Kinesis), Azure (ADLS/Synapse/Event Hubs), Terraform, GitHub Actions, Docker, CloudWatch, REST

Success in 6–12 months looks like

• Reliable, observable pipelines with <1% failure rate and clear SLAs
• 30–50% faster time-to-insight for key analytics use cases
• Significant cost savings from optimized compute and storage
• High stakeholder trust in platform reliability and alerting systems
