About the role

  • Data Platform Engineer responsible for reviewing and stabilizing platform implementations at AVL Maroc SARL AU. Involves mentoring the development team and ensuring best practices in data engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Review and stabilize existing platform implementations (Databricks, Foundry – pipelines, Ontology schemas, Workshop applications, Functions, notebooks).
  • Identify performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and governance gaps across data pipelines and application layers.
  • Lead Ontology governance and design reviews, acting as a gatekeeper for all schema changes (Object Types, Links, Properties, Actions).
  • Define and document target data architectures (ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers).
  • Establish coding standards, naming conventions, repository structures, and Function versioning policies.
  • Enforce code reviews and technical validation before production deployment through Foundry Branching and Proposal workflows.
  • Define and implement a structured testing strategy (unit tests for Functions, integration tests, data quality checks, pipeline expectations).
  • Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and Dev/Test/Prod promotion processes using Foundry Marketplace/DevOps.
  • Automate deployments, rollbacks, and environment configurations.
  • Create and maintain architecture documentation (ADRs, data lineage diagrams, Ontology schemas, data flow diagrams).
  • Design reusable Workshop component libraries, custom widgets, and Slate application patterns.
  • Design and validate new platform solutions aligned with strategy, security, and governance requirements.
  • Mentor the development team on architectural thinking and platform best practices (40% hands-on coding, 60% architecture/leadership).

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering or platform architecture roles.
  • Strong expertise in modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, AWS Glue, Azure Synapse, or similar).
  • Foundry experience is strongly preferred but not required.
  • Advanced skills in Python (PySpark), SQL (Spark SQL), and TypeScript for backend logic and application development.
  • Experience with distributed data processing (Spark architecture, partitioning strategies, performance optimization).
  • Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or similar).
  • Experience with CI/CD workflows, Git branching strategies, and automated testing in data environments.
  • Solid experience in end-to-end ETL and data transformation processes.
  • Proven experience in performance optimization and scalable architecture design.
  • Experience in defining development standards, interface contracts, and engineering best practices.
  • Hands-on coding mindset: must write production code daily, not only review or document.
  • Structured, analytical, and documentation-oriented approach.
  • Strong communication and technical leadership skills, with very good proficiency in English and French.
