  • Architect Reusable Frameworks and Libraries: Drive the design and development of extensible, shared data engineering frameworks and internal libraries. Standardize pipeline creation, accelerate the delivery of robust data products, and minimize code duplication across Medallion architectures and distributed workloads.
  • Enhance Performance and Optimization: Apply advanced techniques for Spark workload tuning - addressing memory, partitioning, and query planning to deploy efficient, large-scale batch and streaming data engineering processes.
  • Enable Platform Resiliency and Cost Efficiency: Partner with cloud and Fabric service teams to optimize data infrastructure workloads at scale, balancing operational performance with fiscal stewardship while supporting Coca-Cola's digital transformation objectives.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Strong communication skills, partnering effectively across business, technology, and product teams to deliver scalable data solutions aligned to enterprise objectives.
  • Software Engineering (8+ years): Extensive polyglot development experience on the JVM, with a strict requirement for deep proficiency in Scala. Must demonstrate a strong grasp of functional programming, concurrency models, and modularization.
  • Data Processing & Spark Expertise (6+ years): Deep, hands-on experience building, debugging, and optimizing distributed computing applications and large-scale data pipelines using Apache Spark.
  • DevOps & CI/CD: Proven ability to build automated release cycles. Hands-on expertise with Git, GitHub Actions, and build tools (Maven/SBT, UV are required).
  • Delivery: Experience in Agile development (Scrum, lean techniques) and collaborating with global engineering teams.
