Job Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain Dataiku pipelines, recipes and flows to ingest, transform and expose data from source systems (PostgreSQL, Teradata, flat files, etc.) into the enterprise data warehouse / lake.
• Apply data‑warehousing concepts such as dimensional modelling, slowly‑changing dimensions, star/snowflake schemas and data‑vault techniques to support analytical reporting and BI consumption.
• Develop reusable Python code (Pandas, PySpark, SQLAlchemy) inside Dataiku plugins, recipes and notebooks for data cleansing, enrichment and advanced analytics.
• Define and implement data‑quality rules, unit tests and automated validation checks within Dataiku.
• Collaborate with data architects and business analysts to convert functional requirements into technical specifications, functional designs and implementation plans.
• Document technical and functional artefacts (design specifications, data dictionaries, run‑books) and contribute to the tribe's knowledge base.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) for Dataiku projects to automate testing, versioning and deployment across development, test and production environments.
• Monitor and optimise pipeline performance, storage utilisation (Parquet/ORC) and cloud‑infrastructure cost (Kubernetes Engine, IBM Cloud).
• Provide 2nd‑level support for production incidents, perform root‑cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
• Mentor junior team members and champion best practices in data engineering and Dataiku usage.
• Actively participate in squad ceremonies (stand‑ups, sprint planning, retrospectives) and adhere to Group standards for coding, security, data‑governance and CI/CD.
• Promote a culture of continuous learning and share insights on Dataiku, data‑warehouse trends and emerging technologies.

• Proficient in Python (OOP, reusable utilities, exception handling, debugging, clean‑code practices) and experienced in using Python within Dataiku recipes, plugins and notebooks.
• Demonstrated ability to implement dimensional modelling, SCD handling, star/snowflake or data‑vault schemas.
• Experience building and orchestrating Dataiku projects, recipes, plugins and APIs.
• Familiarity with version‑control and CI/CD tools (GitLab or equivalent) for automated builds and deployments.
• Knowledge of containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for scalable execution.
• Understanding of columnar storage formats (Parquet, ORC) and cloud storage concepts.
• Proficient with ALM/QC, JIRA, Confluence and SharePoint for tracking and documentation.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Proven ability to work effectively in an Agile, cross‑functional team, including collaboration with French‑Indian extended squads.
