Senior 数据工程师 (Databricks)

About Entrada AI

Entrada AI is a specialized consulting partner and a strategic portfolio company of Databricks Ventures. We were recently named the Genie Partner of the Year (2026) for our work deploying Databricks Genie at enterprise scale—bridging the gap between AI ambition and the trusted, governed data required for accurate responses. With over 150 Databricks projects delivered, we unlock self-service analytics for Fortune 500 leaders.
Databricks invested in us because of our technical excellence, placing us in the "inner circle" of the ecosystem. For our engineers, this means direct access to product roadmaps, private previews, and the teams building the platform. You will join a team of industry veterans who value clean architecture over quick fixes. We don't just maintain pipelines; we solve complex architectural challenges.
About the Role
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will lead the design and implementation of scalable data solutions for our global clients.

Requirements

• Experience: 5–7+ years in Data Engineering or distributed systems, with at least 3 years of deep, hands-on experience specifically within the Databricks ecosystem (including Delta Lake internals).

• Cloud & Engineering: Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL, with production experience in Azure (ADLS Gen2, ADF) or AWS (S3, Glue).

• Modern Data Stack: Expertise in implementing Unity Catalog and familiarity with dbt or Delta Live Tables (DLT) for modern data orchestration.

• Advanced Features: Experience or interest in building data applications using Databricks Apps and utilizing the latest engine features (Photon, Liquid Clustering).

• Governance & Modeling: Strong understanding of data management principles, including data modeling, metadata management, and data quality frameworks.

• Communication: Fluent English (C1+) for direct client collaboration and the ability to act as a technical advisor to stakeholders.
