Data Engineer (Snowflake + Azure Databricks + dbt/Matillion)

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced and results-driven Data Engineer to join our growing Data Engineering practice. The ideal candidate will be proficient in building scalable, high-performance data transformation pipelines using Snowflake, Azure Databricks, and dbt, and will thrive in Techdome's fast-paced, client-facing consulting environment. In this role, you will be instrumental in ingesting, transforming, and delivering high-quality data to enable data-driven decision-making across our clients' organizations - owning your deliverables like a true Tech Doctor.

Key Responsibilities

Design, configure, and optimize ingestion, transformation, and orchestration workflows using Matillion DPC where applicable.

Design and implement scalable ELT pipelines using dbt on Snowflake, following industry-accepted best practices.

Build and maintain data processing workloads on Azure Databricks (PySpark/Spark SQL), including notebooks, jobs, Delta Lake tables, and Lakehouse/medallion architectures.

Build ingestion pipelines from various sources including relational databases, APIs, cloud storage, and flat files into Snowflake and Databricks (Delta Lake).

Implement data modelling and transformation logic to support layered architecture (staging, intermediate, and mart layers, or medallion architecture) to enable reliable and reusable data assets.

Leverage orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt Cloud, Azure Data Factory, or Databricks Workflows) to schedule and monitor data pipelines.

Apply dbt best practices: modular SQL development, testing, documentation, and version control.

Perform performance optimizations in dbt/Snowflake/Databricks through clustering, query profiling, materialization, partitioning, caching, and efficient SQL/Spark design.

Apply CI/CD and Git-based workflows for version-controlled deployments.

Take complete ownership of assigned pipelines and deliverables - from design through production support - in line with Techdome's ownership culture.

Contribute to Techdome's internal knowledge base of dbt macros, Databricks patterns, conventions, and testing frameworks; participate in internal tech talks and knowledge-sharing sessions.

Collaborate with data analysts, data scientists, and data architects across onshore and offshore teams to understand requirements and deliver clean, validated datasets.

Write well-documented, maintainable code using Git for version control and CI/CD processes.

Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.

Support consulting engagements through clear documentation, demos, and delivery of client-ready solutions that reflect Techdome's commitment to excellence.

Required Qualifications

1 to 4 years of experience in data engineering roles, with 6+ months of hands-on experience in Snowflake and dbt.

Mandatory: Hands-on experience with Azure Databricks - developing and deploying pipelines using PySpark/Spark SQL, Delta Lake, notebooks, clusters, and Databricks Workflows/Jobs in a production environment.

Hands-on experience with Matillion Data Productivity Cloud (Matillion DPC) for data ingestion, transformation, or orchestration.

Experience building and deploying dbt models in a production environment.

Expert-level SQL and strong understanding of ELT principles; strong understanding of ELT patterns and data modelling (Kimball/Dimensional preferred).

Familiarity with data quality and validation techniques: dbt tests, dbt docs, etc.

Experience with Git, CI/CD, and deployment workflows in a team setting.

Familiarity with orchestrating workflows using tools like dbt Cloud, Airflow, Azure Data Factory, or Databricks Workflows.

Core Competencies

Data Engineering and ELT Development

Building robust and modular data pipelines using dbt and Databricks.

Writing efficient SQL and PySpark for data transformation and performance tuning in Snowflake and Databricks.
