Description

We are looking for a Senior Databricks Data Engineer to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building end-to-end solutions and wants to work on real-world industrial use cases that comes from an Engineering background, and has experience in Oil & Gas. In this position, you’ll contribute to a variety of impactful client projects, including: Building AI-powered anomaly detection systems for operational and industrial dataModernizing asset management workflows Developing natural language interfaces for querying enterprise and operational dataImplementing Azure Databricks foundations and pipelines with best practicesCreating scalable data pipelines and ML workflows in cloud environmentsEnabling real-time and batch data processing for analytics and AI use casesWorking through complex and challenging data conditions, including incremental processing, late-arriving or changing records, complex business and engineering rules, and reconciliation of results across processing runs The ideal candidate combines strong data engineering experience with an engineering or applied-science background. Direct experience industrial time-series data, scientific measurements, telemetry, financial reconciliation, or other datasets where accuracy, traceability, and incremental recalculation are critical. Key Responsibilities Design, build, and optimize pipelines for sensor and related operational data.Develop complex transformation and calculation logic based on engineering requirements.Implement robust incremental-processing patterns for high-volume and continuously changing datasets.Design, build, and deploy end-to-end AI/ML solutions in production environmentsDevelop robust backend systems and APIs to support AI-driven applicationsBuild and maintain data pipelines and feature engineering workflowsImplement and operationalize machine learning models (training, deployment, monitoring)Work with modern AI tooling (LLMs, agents, orchestration frameworks)Collaborate with clients to translate business problems into technical solutionsContribute to architecture decisions and best practices across projectsMentor client team members and contribute to internal capability buildingWork directly with engineering and operational SMEs to understand physical processes and translate their knowledge into technical requirements.Make engineering calculations and data transformations explainable, traceable, testable, and auditable.Document data lineage, calculation logic, assumptions, dependencies, and exception-handling rules. Ideal Background Senior-level experience designing and developing production data pipelines with Azure Databricks including strong experience with complex SQL, Python, Spark, or comparable data-processing technologies.Complex Excel and CSV integration experienceExperience with Databricks dashboards and GenieStrong requirements gathering experience with Field Engineers and Technical SMEs Demonstrated experience with incremental processing, change detection, reconciliation, and pipeline designExperience handling time-series, telemetry, sensor, operational, scientific or industrial dataMedallion architecture and modelling Strong analytical and investigative skills, with the patience to work through detailed logic and difficult data-quality problems.Degree or professional background in petroleum, reservoir, chemical, mechanical, geological, geophysical, or another relevant engineering or applied-science discipline is strongly preferred.Experience in upstream oil and gas, thermal operations, SAGD, well surveillance, production engineering, or subsurface data would be a significant asset. This role presents an exciting opportunity to work on practical, high-impact AI use cases - not just prototypes, shape how AI is applied to client environments, and change the game on traditional processes and platforms. Come join a growing organization helping clients take a new, lean and value-driven approach to data and engineering!
