FocusPoint, a talent solutions firm, is recruiting a Senior Data Engineer for a well established client in the Nashville area. If you design as well as you build, this is a chance to shape a modern Azure data platform from the architecture down to the pipelines.

About the role

You will own data solutions from design through production: choosing the right technologies, defining the data models and integration approach, and keeping pipelines dependable once they are live. You will work closely with finance, project and operations teams and explain your design choices to non technical leaders.

What you will do

  • Architect lakehouse solutions on Azure Databricks and Delta Lake, with clear layers for raw, refined and reporting data.
  • Design data models and choose integration patterns (batch, API, change data capture and file based) for business applications and cost and project systems.
  • Build and run production pipelines in Azure Data Factory and Databricks using PySpark and Python, backed by automated testing and deployment.
  • Develop Azure SQL objects and reporting layers that feed Power BI.
  • Put data quality checks, access controls, lineage and monitoring in place, with alerts and runbooks.
  • Handle production issues, find root causes and tune performance and cost.
  • Document designs and decisions for technical review.

What you bring

  • 10+ years in data engineering, with 5+ years of hands on Azure data work.
  • Proven architecture experience: design documents, data models and data flow diagrams.
  • Expert Azure Databricks (PySpark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog), strong Azure Data Factory, expert SQL and strong Python.
  • Experience with ADLS Gen2, secrets and identity management, and role based access.
  • Production pipelines with monitoring and defined service levels.
  • Dimensional modeling (star and snowflake schemas).
  • Azure DevOps and CI/CD for data engineering.
  • Data quality, lineage and governance experience at scale.

Pay: $70 to $85 per hour, W2, based on experience.
Location: Nashville, TN preferred. Remote considered for candidates who work Central time hours.
Start date: immediate.
