Data Platform Engineer

AVL Maroc SARL AU offers a job in Morocco (MA) as

Data Platform Engineer

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Review and stabilize existing platform implementations (Databricks, Foundry – pipelines, Ontology schemas, Workshop applications, Functions, notebooks).

• Identify performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and governance gaps across data pipelines and application layers.

• Lead Ontology governance and design reviews, acting as a gatekeeper for all schema changes (Object Types, Links, Properties, Actions).

• Define and document target data architectures (ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers).

• Establish coding standards, naming conventions, repository structures, and Function versioning policies.

• Enforce code reviews and technical validation before production deployment through Foundry Branching and Proposal workflows.

• Define and implement a structured testing strategy (unit tests for Functions, integration tests, data quality checks, pipeline expectations).

• Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and Dev/Test/Prod promotion processes using Foundry Marketplace/DevOps.

• Automate deployments, rollbacks, and environment configurations.

• Create and maintain architecture documentation (ADRs, data lineage diagrams, Ontology schemas, data flow diagrams).

• Design reusable Workshop component libraries, custom widgets, and Slate application patterns.

• Design and validate new platform solutions aligned with strategy, security, and governance requirements.

• Mentor the development team on architectural thinking and platform best practices (40% hands-on coding, 60% architecture/leadership).

YOUR PROFILE:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or platform architecture roles.

• Strong expertise in modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, AWS Glue, Azure Synapse, or similar). Foundry experience is strongly preferred but not required.

• Advanced skills in Python (PySpark), SQL (Spark SQL), and TypeScript for backend logic and application development.

• Experience with distributed data processing (Spark architecture, partitioning strategies, performance optimization).

• Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or similar).

• Experience with CI/CD workflows, Git branching strategies, and automated testing in data environments.

• Solid experience in end-to-end ETL and data transformation processes.

• Proven experience in performance optimization and scalable architecture design.

• Experience in defining development standards, interface contracts, and engineering best practices.

• Hands-on coding mindset: must write production code daily, not only review or document.

• Structured, analytical, and documentation-oriented approach.

• Strong communication and technical leadership skills, with very good proficiency in English and French.

• A role with true technical ownership: architecture, scaling, and governance decisions that directly impact production AI solutions.

• Complex projects that go beyond “just pipelines” – covering big data processing and large-scale ML/DL deployment.

• Opportunities to deepen your expertise in Databricks, cloud-native ML, and MLOps.

• A team where your input and technical decisions truly matter.

• A competitive package and benefits.
