Senior Data Platform Engineer

Senior Data Platform Engineer

Solvd Inc. is a rapidly growing AI-native consulting and technology services firm delivering enterprise transformation across cloud, data, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Following the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery —from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.

We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join an engagement building data pipelines and lakehouse architecture for a scientific data cloud platform — purpose-built for biopharma. You'll be working at the intersection of data engineering and life sciences, turning raw instrument output from lab equipment into harmonized, actionable scientific data that accelerates research outcomes.

This is hands-on, end-to-end engineering work: prototyping pipelines, parsing proprietary instrument file formats, designing data models, and shipping production-grade solutions directly with the customer.

What You'll Do

• Own, prototype, implement, and deploy Databricks Lakehouse pipelines on AWS.
• Research and prototype data acquisition strategies for scientific lab instrumentation.
• Build file parsers for instrument output files across a wide range of formats —.xlsx, .pdf,.txt,.raw,.fid, and vendor-specific binaries.
• Design and build data models, Python data pipelines, unit tests, integration tests, and utility functions.
• Work directly with customers to validate that solutions meet their requirements and solve real scientific needs.
• Facilitate internal project post-mortems to identify and apply improvements across engagements.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of professional experience in Python and SQL.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks Lakehouse architecture on AWS.
• Strong working knowledge of AWS Redshift — hands-on experience required.
• Experience across the AWS data stack: ECS, S3, Athena, RDS.
• Proficiency with ETL/ELT pipeline development using Airflow and Python.
• Experience with relational databases — MySQL, MariaDB, Aurora, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server.
• Familiarity with key-value and non-relational databases.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to take ownership of project delivery end-to-end.
• Able to manage multiple simultaneous projects without losing quality or attention to detail.
• Genuine curiosity — this role requires learning new scientific domains and instrument ecosystems continuously.

Nice To Have

• Elasticsearch experience.
• Background in or exposure to scientific instrumentation, lab workflows, or biopharma data.
• Graduate degree in Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Public Health, or a related field.
• Experience parsing proprietary binary file formats from lab instruments.

When you join Solvd, you'll…

• Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.
• Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.
• Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.
