Original job description

Our client is running a modern data platform built on AWS and actively moving through a major Databricks implementation. The core objective is transforming data into actionable business products for marketing and promotions. The project team needs a seasoned Senior Data Engineer to help lead the charge, stabilize key deliverables, and guide our technical strategy.

This is a 6 month contract based in North Toronto and requires 5 days onsite.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the design, development, and operation of scalable, cloud-based data platforms supporting analytics and machine learning workloads.
Design and maintain high-quality data pipelines (ETL/ELT) with strong standards for reliability, observability, metadata, and lineage.
Build and operate Databricks-based data engineering solutions, including Spark, SparkSQL, and Delta Lake pipelines.
Enable and support MLOps workflows, including data pipelines, feature engineering, and integration with AWS SageMaker for model training, deployment, and monitoring.
Collaborate closely with Data Science and ML Engineering teams to transition models from experimentation to production.
Work with Data Governance and Data Management teams to ensure compliance with enterprise standards and audit requirements.
Implement and maintain data quality frameworks, monitoring, and automated validation checks.
Define and maintain enterprise data assets, data models, and transformation logic.
Perform advanced data analysis to troubleshoot complex data issues and production incidents.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for data and analytics workloads, including testing and deployment automation.
Provide technical mentorship to data engineers, promoting engineering best practices and code quality.
Evaluate and recommend tools and technologies for data lineage, observability, and platform scalability.
Partner with architecture and platform teams to define long-term data and ML platform strategy.
Produce clear documentation and contribute to shared engineering standards and knowledge bases.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

5+ years of professional experience in data engineering or data platform development.
Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL.
Strong experience building data platforms on AWS, including services such as Lambda, Glue, Redshift, Step Functions, CloudFormation, Athena, and related services.
Hands-on experience with Databricks, including Spark, Delta Lake, notebook-driven development, and production pipelines.
Experience enabling or supporting MLOps, including integration with AWS SageMaker for model lifecycle management.
Experience delivering CI/CD pipelines for data and analytics systems.
Strong understanding of data modeling (relational, dimensional) and performance optimization.
Experience implementing data quality, monitoring, and observability solutions.
Proficient with source control tools such as Git and collaborative development practices.
Working knowledge of Linux and scripting.
Experience with file formats (CSV, JSON, XML) and diverse data integration patterns.
Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and emerging data technologies.
Experience managing technical debt, refactoring, and evolving systems over time.
Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term architectural considerations.
Experience as a DBA or with Salesforce (SFDC) is an asset.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
