What We Need: - Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, PySpark, and Spark SQL - Proven experience implementing Medallion architecture - Solid data modeling skills, especially for analytics and reporting use cases - Experience leading delivery for small engineering teams (formal management not required) - Comfort working with partially defined requirements and refining them collaboratively - Clear written and verbal communication skills in a remote environment Nice to Have: - Experience supporting GDPR-compliant data strategies - Exposure to multi-region or multi-tenant data platforms - Familiarity with external analytics tools consuming warehouse data - Familiarity with various data flows, with sources in Azure, AWS, GCP, and others Why Logicbroker: Mission-Driven Culture: Be part of a company transforming digital commerce through innovation and agility—your work directly shapes how global brands connect with customers.
