Project Description

We are seeking a hands-on Data Engineer to support the Total Fund Management Portfolio Management Technology team. This role focuses on building and optimizing large-scale data processing systems in a cloud-native environment. You are expected to independently design and deliver scalable data solutions with minimal oversight. This is not a role for someone who requires detailed task breakdowns or constant direction.

  • Develop and optimize Spark-based workloads in cloud environments
  • Work with large-scale datasets using modern storage formats.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate data requirements into robust engineering solutions
  • Ensure high performance, reliability, and maintainability of data platforms
  • Contribute to production readiness, including monitoring, documentation, and deployment

Skills - Must have

  • Strong Python with PySpark
  • Hands-on experience with Apache Spark (preferably in cloud environments)
  • Experience working with large-scale data systems
  • Familiarity with columnar formats (Parquet) and modern table formats (Iceberg)
  • Experience with Databricks
  • Prior consulting, advisory, or client-facing delivery experience
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments
  • Proven independent delivery without close supervision
  • Strong problem-solving and continuous improvement mindset

Nice to have

  • AWS data services (Glue, Lake Formation)
  • Workflow orchestration tools (Airflow)
  • Experience with distributed data processing architectures
  • Capital markets experience
