About the role

We are looking for a Lead Data Software Engineer to own the end‑to‑end delivery of process‑mining use cases, migrating from Celonis to a Databricks‑based platform. The role blends hands‑on engineering with establishing best‑practice development processes, mentoring junior engineers, and scaling solutions across the account.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the full engineering lifecycle for process‑mining use cases, from discovery through production support.
• Analyse source systems and build reliable data ingestion, transformation, and validation pipelines.
• Design and develop scalable, reusable Databricks components and Databricks Apps.
• Drive PoC migrations from Celonis, assess feasibility and evolve successful solutions into production.
• Establish team engineering practices: unit/integration testing, code review, CI/CD, deployment, and monitoring.
• Identify technical risks, make design decisions and collaborate with architects and stakeholders.
• Apply AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Databricks Genie, Claude) across the SDLC and ensure outputs meet quality, security, and compliance standards.
• Support engineers through code reviews, documentation, reusable patterns, and knowledge‑transfer sessions.

Required profile

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience with Python and data engineering.
• Proactive, independent working style with strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills.
• Experience mentoring engineers and establishing engineering processes.
• Fluent English (B2+ level) and awareness of data governance, security, compliance, data lineage, and privacy requirements.

• Python
• Databricks (platform, Apps, data modeling, data quality)
• Data ingestion and transformation pipelines
• Source‑system integration
• AI‑assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Databricks Genie, Claude)
