Sr. Data Engineer

Universal Business Consulting
Philadelphia, PA Contractor
POSTED ON 4/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/8/2026

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Engineer to support a large-scale Salesforce CRM Data Migration and Data Warehousing initiative. This role is focused on building and maintaining scalable, cloud-based data pipelines using Databricks, Spark, and Python to enable reliable data integration into the enterprise Data Hub for analytics and reporting.

This is a hands-on data engineering role centered around ETL/ELT pipeline development — not a Java or microservices development position.

You will work in a fast-paced Agile/Scrum environment, collaborating with architects and engineers while independently owning critical data deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

Data Engineering & Pipeline Development

  • Design and develop scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks, Spark, and PySpark
  • Extract, transform, and ingest Salesforce CRM data into centralized Data Hub
  • Build high-performance workflows for large, distributed datasets
  • Optimize Spark jobs for scalability, performance, and cost efficiency
  • Convert business requirements into robust technical data solutions

Cloud & Platform Integration

  • Integrate pipelines with AWS services including S3, SQS, SNS, and Lambda
  • Manage data ingestion, storage, and movement across cloud environments
  • Support deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting of pipelines
  • Ensure high availability, reliability, and performance of systems

Operations & Agile Delivery

  • Maintain and enhance existing production pipelines (BAU support)
  • Monitor jobs, resolve failures, and implement performance improvements
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders
  • Independently own assigned deliverables while contributing to team success

Required Qualifications

  • 10 years of experience in Data Engineering
  • Strong Python programming skills
  • Hands-on experience with PySpark / Apache Spark
  • Proven experience with Databricks
  • Expertise in building enterprise-scale ETL/ELT pipelines
  • Experience integrating with AWS services (S3, SQS, SNS, Lambda)
  • Knowledge of distributed data processing concepts
  • Experience monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing pipelines
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery models
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to Salesforce CRM data
  • Basic knowledge of MuleSoft
  • Java or Scala familiarity
  • CI/CD or Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc.)

Technology Stack

  • Language: Python
  • Processing: Spark / PySpark
  • Platform: Databricks
  • Cloud: AWS
  • Source System: Salesforce CRM
  • Integration: MuleSoft (team-level)

Interview Process

  • 45-minute technical/coding round
  • Final technical/team discussion
  • Maximum 2 rounds
