• Design and build production data pipelines using Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Autoloader, and Structured Streaming, with end-to-end ownership of ingestion, transformation, data quality expectations, and CI/CD deployment via Declarative Automation Bundles. • Architect and implement Lakehouse solutions on Databricks — medallion architecture, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog — tailored to the client's analytics, AI, and application needs. • Build and maintain Databricks transformation layers — DLT pipelines, PySpark notebooks, and dbt — with data quality constraints and SLAs baked in. • Design and maintain the data and AI foundations — Unity Catalog, Feature Store, MLflow, and Model Serving — that power production ML, agent workflows, and AI-enabled digital products. • Collaborate with product and backend engineers to design data models, APIs, and application data contracts — ensuring the platform serves the product, not just the warehouse. • Consult with clients to understand their data challenges, develop data strategies, and implement sustainable solutions. • Adapt your approach based on project needs — sometimes leading data architecture discussions with clients, other times supporting internal teams with specialized data expertise. • Work within multi-cloud environments — primarily AWS and Azure — anchoring data platform recommendations around Databricks where it fits the client's architecture and goals. • Champion data governance through Unity Catalog — access control, lineage, data quality policies, and compliance — as a first-class part of every engagement, not an afterthought. • Design data-to-application architectures — including Lakebase-backed services and Databricks Apps — that connect governed data to AI workflows, digital products, and user-facing experiences. • Help build Livefront's Databricks practice — contributing to accelerators, internal enablement, certification goals, and Databricks partner go-to-market materials alongside delivery work.

• As a Senior Data Engineer, you will drive the end-to-end development of our core data infrastructure through AI-native engineering. • Championing our AI DevEx approach, you will orchestrate AI agents to rapidly build, scale, and refactor high-performance systems. • Developing and driving the architecture of complex data systems that prioritize scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability. • Designing and optimizing production-grade data pipelines , with a primary focus on high-throughput, real-time streaming. • Driving Spec-Driven Development (SDD) using OpenSpec or GitHub Spec Kit to create strict engineering contracts that ensure predictable, high-quality AI code generation. • Orchestrating agentic AI workflows with Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to rapidly build, refactor, and scale our data infrastructure. • Taking full accountability and ownership of system components, working in a self-sufficient manner to solve deep technical challenges. • Implementing rigorous testing and monitoring frameworks to ensure the integrity of mission-critical data. • Mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence through open feedback and architectural reviews.
