New Yesterday

My client is scaling a modern data platform and is looking for a Senior Data Engineer with strong Databricks experience to join on a 12-month contract . You'll work on high-volume pipelines, event-driven architecture, and cloud-native engineering that actually stretches your skills.

Troubleshooting production issues and driving permanent fixes

Contributing to engineering standards across the platform

The ideal candidate will have:

Python + SQL at production level
