DTS is looking for Data Engineer for our client Position in Southfield, MI
Looking for someone with hands-on experience working in Databricks, including Unity Catalog, along with strong PySpark and SQL skills. This contractor will be supporting a recent Databricks migration, so prior experience building and operating in that environment is a key requirement.
Musts
In talking to candidates, I'm finding some have data pipeline building experience but lack fundamentals and knowing basic join functions in SQL. They should be able to explain the difference between an inner-join and a left outer join on the table. In screening questions like that should be easy for them to answer.
