Senior Data Engineer
Talan
This is a solid move if you want to specialize in data engineering early in your career. You'll work on real infrastructure that powers actual systems, not toy projects. Talan's Central Platform Team will guide you as you build and scale their data platform—meaning you get structure, mentorship, and the chance to own meaningful work.
Your day-to-day involves building the Databricks engineering framework, writing PySpark and SQL pipelines, and establishing reusable patterns that the whole team uses. You'll work with modern tools like VS Code and Git, and you'll be expected to ship clean, modular code. If you're already using AI-assisted coding tools to write faster, that's a bonus.
This fits you if you have hands-on experience with Databricks and the Python data stack. A degree in computer science, data science, engineering, or a related field is typical. Portfolio work with data pipelines or ETL systems helps. Bonus if you've touched Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, or medallion architecture patterns.
