Senior Data Engineer

Full-time

Level Access

Level Access is the leading digital accessibility solutions company, helping organizations build products that work for everyone. We are consolidating our business systems into a single, unified data platform to power analytics and AI initiatives. As a Senior Data Engineer , you will play a critical role in designing, building, and operating the data infrastructure that underpins this transformation. This position focuses on creating a robust, governed, and scalable data foundation that integrates data from multiple systems into an AI-ready platform.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain a scalable data platform on Databricks and AWS, following Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) architecture principles.
  • Develop and manage data ingestion and ETL/ELT pipelines from core business systems, ensuring data quality, reliability, and performance.
  • Implement data quality monitoring (freshness, completeness, validity, anomaly detection) with automated alerting.
  • Establish and maintain Golden Record identity resolution and reverse sync across source systems.
  • Govern metadata, lineage, and permissions using Databricks Unity Catalog and platform standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver analytics- and AI-ready datasets that support business objectives.
  • Apply best practices for infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and version control for data pipelines.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders, manage ambiguity, and drive results in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications Required

  • 8+ years of experience in data engineering, building production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines at scale.
  • Strong proficiency in Python (PySpark, scripting, API integrations, pipeline automation).
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks (notebooks, jobs, workflows, Unity Catalog) and AWS (Lambda, ECS/Fargate, S3, Glue, Athena, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Step Functions, IAM).
  • Expertise in data modeling and lakehouse architectures (Medallion, Delta Lake, Parquet, schema evolution, incremental upserts).
  • Proficiency in SQL and dbt for building modular, tested, and documented models.
  • Experience with REST API integration, entity resolution, and record matching strategies.
  • Familiarity with Git-based version control and CI/CD for data pipelines.

Preferred

  • Advanced Databricks features (Delta Live Tables, MLflow integration).
  • Salesforce API experience (Bulk API 2.0, REST API, SOQL).

Application Process

If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment and you are eager to make a significant impact in the field of accessibility, we would love to hear from you! This is a full‑time, salaried position offering a competitive benefits package, including bonus opportunities, generous paid time off, paid holidays, and a range of programs designed to support employee well‑being and work‑life balance.
