We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Senior Azure Data Engineer with significant technical skills in Azure and strong business acumen to join our team in Coca-Cola Hellenic Digital & Technology Platform Services (DTPS) and be part of the Data Management Platforms team. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the strategy, design and development of our Enterprise and Operational Reporting, as well as AI and Machine Learning solutions, enabling data-driven insights, predictive capabilities, and smarter decision-making for end users across all use cases. The role involves significant collaboration with business and IT teams, with the opportunity to integrate and transform data from various systems into structures that power analytical solutions, AI/ML models, and data products - designing, developing, and implementing Azure-based solutions that connect certified and validated data sources to multiple consumption layers, including Power BI visualizations, downstream applications, and other teams' data needs.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ELT/ETL pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks, ensuring reliability and performance for large-scale enterprise data.

• Develop data transformation logic and business rules using Python (PySpark) and Spark SQL, applying software engineering best practices such as modular code, unit testing, and version control.

• Design, optimize, and maintain distributed data processing solutions on Delta Lake for large-scale enterprise datasets.

• Contribute to the design and evolution of our medallion architecture and golden layer strategy, implemented on Delta Lake within Databricks.

• Own the operational health of production pipelines, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and continuous improvement.

• Implement data ingestion processes from multiple heterogeneous sources - including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data - ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency.

• Support the migration from SAP BW, ensuring data continuity and quality throughout, using Python-based validation and reconciliation frameworks.

• Ensure data integrity and availability through appropriate storage solutions, partitioning strategies, and access controls across Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and Databricks.

• Work autonomously to deliver complex data engineering tasks with minimal supervision, while proactively communicating progress and blockers.

• Collaborate closely with data scientists, BI analysts, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions - including data products that feed AI/ML models built on Databricks.

• Participate in agile ceremonies, contribute to sprint planning, and take end-to-end ownership of technical deliverables.

ARE THESE YOUR SECRET INGREDIENTS?

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Science, or a related field.

• 4+ years of experience in data engineering with a strong focus on Azure (Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake Storage, Fabric).

• Proven experience designing and building production-grade data pipelines that handle large volumes of data reliably.

• Extensive hands-on experience with Azure Databricks (PySpark / Spark SQL) for designing, developing, optimizing, and maintaining production-grade distributed data transformation pipelines.

• Strong SQL skills and experience with data modelling, schema design, and query optimization.

• Python programming skills with experience building scalable data engineering frameworks, automation, validation, and reconciliation solutions using PySpark.

• Solid understanding of data warehouse and lakehouse concepts.

• Experience using Git-based version control and collaborative software development practices.

• Experience implementing CI/CD for data pipelines using Azure DevOps and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).

• Familiarity with DevSecOps principles and experience working within the SAFe Agile framework.

• Experience with real-time or near-real-time streaming pipelines (Azure Event Hubs, Apache Kafka, Spark Streaming).

• Experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, and Hive, and large data volume management.

• Working knowledge of additional programming languages such as Scala or C#/.NET would be considered an advantage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset - you enjoy finding root causes, not just symptoms.

• Experience with Power BI and DAX for building analytical models and connecting to enterprise data.

• Strong ability to work independently, manage your own priorities, and deliver under ambiguity.

• Excellent communication skills - able to translate technical concepts for business stakeholders and vice versa.

• Good proficiency in English as a day-to-day business language.
