Location: NY-5MW / Manhattan West, New York

Required Visa: & holders

Type: Contract to hire W2

Hiring Manager Call Highlights

  • This is a hands-on senior engineering role, not an associate-level or purely architectural position.
  • Approximately 60% data processing/data ecosystem work and 40% general programming, potentially in Python or Java.
  • Python fundamentals matter beyond PySpark syntax. Candidates may be questioned on language internals, programming fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Spark is foundational. AWS EMR and Glue ETL are highly relevant, but strong Spark candidates from Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, Hadoop, or comparable ecosystems may be considered.
  • The team expects end-to-end data thinking: modeling, wrangling, pipelines, storage, quality, security, monitoring, and operational resilience.
  • Candidates must collaborate, coach, document decisions, and explain how their work contributed to a team outcome.
  • Rsum claims will be tested. The interview may include live Python coding and technical deep dives.

Required Skills

  • Strong Python programming fundamentals and hands-on coding ability (Java may complement, but not replace, the requested Python depth).
  • Strong Apache Spark / PySpark fundamentals, including distributed processing and performance considerations.
  • 5 10+ years of relevant data engineering or big-data processing experience, with senior/lead-level scope.
  • Practical data engineering across pipelines, modeling, warehouses/lakes, migration, quality, storage, access, and analytics.
  • Working knowledge of data structures and algorithms; able to reason through lists, stacks, queues, complexity, and solution design.
  • System design, application development, testing, debugging, operational stability, and SQL/database querying.
  • Clear, credible communication: explains when, where, why, and how each key rsum skill was used.
  • Teamwork and technical leadership: collaboration, coaching, documentation, and ownership.
