[Remote] Senior Data Engineer (Streaming & Databricks)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Lumenalta is a technology solutions company that partners with forward-thinking organizations to drive business growth. They are seeking a Senior Data Engineer with expertise in streaming architectures and Databricks to architect and deliver a Lakehouse platform for high-frequency sensor telemetry and complex data pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement data landing zones for streaming telemetry (Striim) and historical relational data (Oracle), enforcing strict asset and handle-level segregation across ingestion layers
• Design and deploy end-to-end batch and streaming data pipelines within a Databricks Lakehouse environment, leveraging Delta Live Tables (DLT) for reliable state management and incremental processing
• Develop transformation logic to calculate descriptive statistics (min, max, avg, counts) at ingestion time and build advanced Silver and Gold layer pipelines for complex multi-sensor time-alignment
• Configure ETL clusters and SQL Warehouses; establish environment-wide monitoring, spend alerts, and cost projections to manage cloud resource consumption and FinOps accountability
• Lead production cutover activities, including environment hardening, catch-up batch processing for historical backfill, and phased loading of historical parameters
• Define and enforce data quality standards and pipeline observability practices across all layers of the Lakehouse
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to translate manufacturing and IoT domain requirements into robust, scalable data architecture decisions

Skills

• 5+ years in data engineering with a proven track record of delivering production-grade pipelines in complex, high-volume enterprise environments
• Advanced hands-on experience with Databricks—Delta Lake, Delta Live Tables (DLT), SQL Warehouses, and cluster management at scale
• Proven experience with Striim or equivalent Change Data Capture tools in high-volume manufacturing, IoT, or telemetry contexts
• Strong proficiency in Python/PySpark and advanced SQL for both pipeline development and complex transformation logic
• Experience managing high-frequency time-series datasets and performing multi-sensor synchronization across misaligned temporal streams
• Familiarity with cloud cost management practices, including cluster sizing, spend monitoring, and resource optimization within Databricks environments
• Comfortable owning go-live activities—environment hardening, cutover planning, and post-deployment stabilization in critical production settings

Benefits

• Employment_type: FULL_TIME
• Job_location_type: TELECOMMUTE
• Be 100% dedicated to one project at a time so that you can innovate and grow.
• Be a part of a team of talented and friendly senior-level developers.
• Work on projects that allow you to use leading tech.
• This is a fully remote position; however, candidates must be based in regions that align with the Pacific, Central, or Eastern U.S. time zones to ensure effective collaboration with client and team schedules.
• Occasional travel to Georgia will be required.
