Essential skills and experience

  • Strong Databricks, Python, PySpark and SQL skills, with hands-on experience developing and supporting production data pipelines processing large datasets.
  • Experience with Delta Lake, batch and incremental ingestion, schema management, merge logic, deduplication and maintaining historical records without losing the meaning of effective dates.
  • Practical geospatial data engineering experience working with points, polygons, spatial joins, geometry validation and geographic aggregation.
  • Understanding of coordinate reference systems, including British National Grid and WGS84, coordinate transformation, distance units and the limitations of postcode centroids for precise location analysis.
  • Experience with a scalable Spark spatial approach, such as supported native Databricks spatial functions or Apache Sedona. Able to select tooling compatible with the deployed runtime and workload.
  • Ability to ingest and transform spatial formats such as GeoJSON, WKT/WKB and Shapefile or GeoParquet, alongside tabular reference files.
  • Experience joining demographic or other record-level data to geographic reference data, handling unmatched and multiple matches, and controlling changes to lookup versions and boundaries.
  • Strong data quality and reconciliation skills, including tests that identify record multiplication, missing mappings and incorrect geographic assignments.
  • Experience with Git, CI/CD, code review, automated testing, job monitoring and performance troubleshooting. Able to document assumptions and explain data issues clearly to analysts and data owners
