We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join Source Meridian. About Source Meridian Source Meridian is a development software company that works to solve the industry’s most challenging problems in healthcare practices. We are laser focused on specific technologies in the healthcare and life science industries: Healthcare technology, artificial intelligence, and healthcare interoperability.

About the role We're growing a data engineering team for a US-based client whose entire data platform runs on Databricks on AWS. The immediate priority is building out and scaling their data ingestion layer — bringing in data from a wide range of source systems reliably, efficiently, and in a way that holds up as the platform grows. You'll work closely with two client-side teams: The DBA team, who own data governance and are the authority on source systems, access, and data stewardship.

What You'll do

- Design, build, and maintain ingestion pipelines into Databricks from a variety of source systems.
- Build and optimize Spark workloads in Python — batch and streaming.
- Model and structure data in Delta Lake following medallion-style patterns (bronze / silver / gold).
- Partner with the DBA team on governance, access, and data quality expectations, and with the Data & Analytics team so ingested data actually serves their reporting and strategy needs.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and tune pipelines for reliability, cost, and performance.
- Document pipelines, data contracts, and design decisions so the work is maintainable by the team.

Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer
- Strong, demonstrable Databricks experience. Someone who knows the platform well in production, not just conceptually. Delta Lake,



workflows/jobs, clusters and compute configuration, Unity Catalog.
- Advanced Python for data engineering.
- Strong Apache Spark — including an understanding of how to diagnose and fix performance problems, not just write working code.
- AWS fundamentals as they relate to a data platform (S3, IAM, networking basics, secrets management).
- SQL at a strong level.
- Experience designing ingestion pipelines from multiple heterogeneous source systems.
- Senior-level autonomy: able to take an ambiguous requirement, ask the right questions, and deliver.
- B2+ or superior english level

Nice to have

- Experience connecting Databricks to on-premises systems (networking, private connectivity, gateways, CDC from on-prem databases).
- Experience with other cloud data platforms — Snowflake, BigQuery, Synapse, Redshift.
- Streaming and CDC tooling (Structured Streaming, Auto Loader, Debezium, Kafka).
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Databricks Asset Bundles) and CI/CD for data pipelines.
- Orchestration beyond Databricks Workflows (Airflow, dbt).
- Databricks certifications (Data EngineerAssociate / Professional).
- Prior experience working with governance-heavy or regulated data environments.
