As a Data Modeler, you will design and deliver implementation-ready logical and physical data models within Azure Databricks (Delta Lake) following Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold). The role involves ensuring Data Engineers can start development with clear schema definitions, SQL structures, and zero ambiguity.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Data Modelling & Design:
- Develop Conceptual, Logical, and Physical Data Models.
