Data Engineer (ADF, Orchestration, Data Flows, Snowflake) | REMOTE

Data Engineer Position

10+ years of IT experience. Background candidates should ideally have come from SSIS/SQL transitioning to Azure Data Factory (Data Integration) Snowflake (Source and Target End Point). Azure has a lot of components to it such as Fabric, DataBricks, ADF, Pyspark. They need candidates that can use ADF as both orchestration and integration. Many candidates claim to have ADF but for orchestration really just use Pyspark to trigger the jobs through ADF. They need to be advanced at building the integration through data flows logic as well.
