Data Engineer – Databricks & MDM

Role Overview:

We are seeking a hands-on Data Engineer with 5+ years of experience to support data engineering and master data management initiatives. The ideal candidate brings practical Databricks expertise, strong experience working with structured and semi-structured data (particularly JSON), and hands-on exposure to Reltio MDM. This is an initial three-month contract with a strong possibility of extension based on project needs and performance.

About Teqfocus:

Teqfocus is a Data and AI company that helps enterprises build and scale the Agentic Enterprise - connecting the data foundation, the intelligence layer, and the applications teams run their businesses on into a single, coherent architecture.

As a Salesforce Summit Partner, we work in Healthcare, Life Sciences, Financial Services, Insurance, and Hi-Tech - industries where getting AI right matters and the tolerance for failure is low. Our delivery model is senior-heavy by design. The same team that scopes an engagement ships it to production. There are no junior shadow teams, no sub-contractors brought in when the problem gets hard, and no hand-off to a separate managed services vendor when the project closes.

We run an internal innovation practice that builds the reusable patterns, pre-tested architectures, and industry-specific frameworks that give every Teqfocus client a head start - and give every Teqfocus practitioner work that compounds over time.

We are a diverse, immigrant-entrepreneurial company. We were built on the conviction that the best outcomes come from people who take genuine ownership of what they build - and are trusted to do so.
