• Build APIs and services that interact with large scale data systems

• Implement monitoring, logging and performance tuning across the data stack

• Collaborate with data engineers, architects and DevOps teams to deliver production grade data platforms

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands on experience with Azure Cosmos DB

• Experience building distributed processing pipelines using Apache Spark and PySpark

• Backend development experience with Microsoft .NET or C#

• Strong understanding of NoSQL data modelling, partitioning strategies and performance optimisation

• Experience working within Microsoft Azure environments

• Familiarity with building high throughput, low latency data systems
