[Remote] Data Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ness Digital Engineering is seeking a Data Engineer to build and govern data pipelines for a tokenomics program. The role focuses on bronze, silver, and gold data layers, attribution and allocation logic, data quality monitoring, and scalable Databricks-based ingestion and transformation workflows.

Responsibilities

• Build ingestion into the bronze layer for assigned sources: gateway and observability logs, productivity tool admin APIs, AI-enabled SaaS usage, hyperscaler billing exports and reference data. Land raw and untransformed, on a scheduled refresh, replayable if the downstream design changes
• Work to the shared bronze landing contract so each tool is ingested once and serves both this program and the parallel productivity initiative, rather than being integrated twice
• Build the silver layer: typed, deduplicated and conformed to the canonical dimensions, refreshed independently of any downstream publication schedule
• Build gold marts carrying attribution method, attribution level, cost basis and provisional status alongside cost and usage
• Implement the attribution and allocation logic designed by the analysts, including precedence resolution and ratio-based splitting of shared endpoint cost
• Work within Unity Catalog governance — shared bronze and silver, separate gold marts with a recorded owner per dataset — including permissions, lineage and cataloging
• Implement data quality rules and monitoring: completeness, freshness and tag-coverage checks with alerting, so pipeline problems surface before they reach a divisional invoice
• Manage the volume impact of enabling caller-identity data in the cost and usage report, which multiplies row counts by the number of calling identities per model
• Work to the per-source cadence — daily where controls and anomaly detection depend on it, monthly where they do not — within the team's existing CI/CD and promotion practices

Skills

• Advanced Databricks engineering: Delta Lake, medallion architecture, Databricks Workflows, Auto Loader and incremental ingestion patterns
• Unity Catalog to a governance standard — catalogs, schemas, permissions, lineage — not merely as a place tables happen to live
• Strong Python and PySpark, and strong SQL
• Notebook-based development
• Ingestion from REST APIs including pagination, throttling, incremental watermarks and credential handling, plus cloud object storage across AWS, Azure and GCP
• Performance and cost optimization of Spark workloads: partitioning, clustering, file sizing and cluster configuration
• CI/CD for Databricks — asset bundles or equivalent — and Git-based development workflow
• Able to work to an existing catalog structure and coding standard rather than introducing a parallel approach
