About the role

Key responsibilities  • Build ingestion into the bronze layer for assigned sources: gateway and observability logs, productivity  tool admin APIs, AI-enabled SaaS usage, hyperscaler billing exports and reference data. Land raw and  untransformed, on a scheduled refresh, replayable if the downstream design changes.  • Work to the shared bronze landing contract so each tool is ingested once and serves both this program  and the parallel productivity initiative, rather than being integrated twice.  • Build the silver layer: typed, deduplicated and conformed to the canonical dimensions, refreshed  independently of any downstream publication schedule.  • Build gold marts carrying attribution method, attribution level, cost basis and provisional status alongside  cost and usage.  • Implement the attribution and allocation logic designed by the analysts, including precedence resolution  and ratio-based splitting of shared endpoint cost.  • Work within Unity Catalog governance — shared bronze and silver, separate gold marts with a recorded  owner per dataset — including permissions, lineage and cataloging.  • Implement data quality rules and monitoring: completeness, freshness and tag-coverage checks with  alerting, so pipeline problems surface before they reach a divisional invoice.  • Manage the volume impact of enabling caller-identity data in the cost and usage report, which multiplies  row counts by the number of calling identities per model.  • Work to the per-source cadence — daily where controls and anomaly detection depend on it, monthly  where they do not — within the team's existing CI/CD and promotion practices.  Essential skills and experience  • Advanced Databricks engineering: Delta Lake, medallion architecture, Databricks Workflows, Auto  Loader and incremental ingestion patterns.  • Unity Catalog to a governance standard — catalogs, schemas, permissions, lineage — not merely as a  place tables happen to live.  • Strong Python and PySpark, and strong SQL. Notebook-based development.  • Ingestion from REST APIs including pagination, throttling, incremental watermarks and credential  handling, plus cloud object storage across AWS, Azure and GCP.  • Performance and cost optimization of Spark workloads: partitioning, clustering, file sizing and cluster  configuration.  Tokenomics Program - Contract Role Descriptions  |  Page 7  • CI/CD for Databricks — asset bundles or equivalent — and Git-based development workflow.  • Able to work to an existing catalog structure and coding standard rather than introducing a parallel  approach.
