Role summary

We are looking for a technically sharp and detail-oriented Data Engineer to join HPEFS (Hewlett Packard Enterprises Financial Services - Advanced Analytics & BI team Bangalore. This role is the data backbone that powers our AI capabilities — working in close partnership with the AI Engineers to ensure that the data flowing into AI models, dashboards, and business workflows is clean, governed, and well-structured. This role will play a hands on role and own the backend data lifecycle: ingesting raw data from diverse sources, transforming it into reliable, analysis-ready datasets, enforcing data quality standards, and publishing governed data products via Microsoft Fabric and Databricks. You will also support reporting needs through Power BI and contribute to Collibra-based data governance initiatives. A working familiarity with Microsoft Copilot and AI-assisted data tooling is expected

What you'll do:

Data Engineering & Transformation

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Databricks (PySpark / Delta Live Tables), and Microsoft Fabric Data Factory.

• Transform raw, multi-source data into clean, conformed, and analytics-ready datasets following Medallion Architecture principles (Bronze → Silver → Gold).

• Develop and optimize SQL and PySpark-based transformation logic for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.

• Implement incremental load patterns, merge/upsert logic, and slowly changing dimension (SCD) strategies to support historical data tracking.

• Collaborate with the AI Engineers to prepare high-quality feature datasets for ML and LLM use cases.

Data Quality & Governance

• Define, implement, and monitor data quality rules including completeness, accuracy, consistency, timeliness, and uniqueness checks.

• Administer and extend the Collibra data governance platform — including business glossary management, data lineage documentation, and stewardship workflows.

• Build automated data quality validation frameworks using tools such as Great Expectations, dbt tests, or Unity Catalog data quality constraints in Databricks.

• Triage and resolve data quality incidents, root-cause data anomalies, and communicate impact to stakeholders proactively.

• Maintain metadata catalogues and ensure all critical datasets have documented ownership, lineage, and classification.

Microsoft Fabric & Lakehouse

• Build and manage Lakehouses, Warehouses, and Dataflows Gen2 within the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem.

• Configure OneLake, shortcuts, and mirroring to unify data across sources without unnecessary duplication.

• Leverage Fabric Notebooks (PySpark / Python) and Spark job definitions for large-scale data processing.

• Support the semantic model layer in Fabric to ensure Power BI datasets are optimized and governed

Power BI & Reporting

• Develop and maintain Power BI semantic models (star schema design, DAX measures, row-level security).

• Build production-grade dashboards and reports for business stakeholders; ensure refresh reliability and performance.

• Apply Copilot-assisted authoring in Power BI and Fabric where applicable to accelerate report generation.

• Support self-service analytics adoption by publishing governed datasets to the Power BI service

Collaboration & AI Enablement

• Partner closely with the AI Engineers, peer data scientist and analytics team members to supply clean, structured data for RAG pipelines, model training, and agentic workflows.

• Contribute to the design of shared data contracts and API schemas between data engineering and AI engineering layers.

• Assist with AI-assisted data tasks using Microsoft Copilot (in Fabric, Power BI, and Azure environments).

What you need to bring:

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline.

• 4 – 5 years of hands-on experience in data engineering, ETL development, or analytics engineering roles.

• Demonstrable experience with Databricks and/or Microsoft Fabric in a production environment.

• Proficiency in Power BI report and semantic model development.

• Reporting & BI - Power BI (DAX, semantic models, RLS, Power Query / M), Microsoft Fabric Power BI integration, Copilot-assisted authoring in Power BI

• Programming - Python (primary), SQL (advanced); PySpark; familiarity with JSON, Parquet, Delta file formats

• Cloud & DevOps - Azure (preferred): Synapse, ADF, ADLS Gen2, Key Vault; Git/GitHub for version control; CI/CD basics for pipeline deployment
