Summary
Build and maintain data pipelines using the medallion architecture to ingest, transform, and model data for cost and usage reporting. Implement data quality monitoring, governance via Unity Catalog, and attribution logic to ensure accurate financial reporting.
Job Description
Key responsibilities
• Build ingestion into the bronze layer for assigned sources: gateway and observability logs, productivity
tool admin APIs, AI-enabled SaaS usage, hyperscaler billing exports and reference data. Land raw and
untransformed, on a scheduled refresh, replayable if the downstream design changes.
• Work to the shared bronze landing contract so each tool is ingested once and serves both this program
and the parallel productivity initiative, rather than being integrated twice.
• Build the silver layer: typed, deduplicated and conformed to the canonical dimensions, refreshed
independently of any downstream publication schedule.
• Build gold marts carrying attribution method, attribution level, cost basis and provisional status alongside
cost and usage.
• Implement the attribution and allocation logic designed by the analysts, including precedence resolution
and ratio-based splitting of shared endpoint cost.
• Work within Unity Catalog governance — shared bronze and silver, separate gold marts with a recorded
owner per dataset — including permissions, lineage and cataloging.
• Implement data quality rules and monitoring: completeness, freshness and tag-coverage checks with
alerting, so pipeline problems surface before they reach a divisional invoice.
• Manage the volume impact of enabling caller-identity data in the cost and usage report, which multiplies
row counts by the number of calling identities per model.
• Work to the per-source cadence — daily where controls and anomaly detection depend on it, monthly
where they do not — within the team's existing CI/CD and promotion practices.
Essential skills and experience
• Advanced Databricks engineering: Delta Lake, medallion architecture, Databricks Workflows, Auto
Loader and incremental ingestion patterns.
• Unity Catalog to a governance standard — catalogs, schemas, permissions, lineage — not merely as a
place tables happen to live.
• Strong Python and PySpark, and strong SQL. Notebook-based development.
• Ingestion from REST APIs including pagination, throttling, incremental watermarks and credential
handling, plus cloud object storage across AWS, Azure and GCP.
• Performance and cost optimization of Spark workloads: partitioning, clustering, file sizing and cluster
configuration.

• CI/CD for Databricks — asset bundles or equivalent — and Git-based development workflow.
• Able to work to an existing catalog structure and coding standard rather than introducing a parallel
approach.
