About the role

We are seeking a skilled and proactive Databricks Platform Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for owning, managing, optimizing, and supporting our Databricks platform end-to-end, including Azure-based deployments and supporting infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices.

What you'll do here:

• Administer, configure, and maintain Azure Databricks workspaces, including user management, cluster setup, resource allocation, provisioning cloud services, and backup and recovery strategy.

• Own and evolve platform automation, including Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for Databricks and dependent cloud resources.

• Monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues related to Databricks clusters, jobs, and data pipelines.

• Implement best practices for security, compliance, and cost management within Azure Databricks environments.

• Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, and other stakeholders to support their workflows and optimize platform usage, including Power BI and dashboard administration.

• Partner with cloud networking and security teams to design and operate secure connectivity patterns (VNets/subnets, routing/DNS, Private Link, VNet injection), especially for environments isolated from the public internet.

• Integrate Databricks with various SaaS products and services, ensuring seamless data flow and interoperability.

• Administer and maintain Power BI workspaces, datasets, and reports, ensuring effective data visualization and reporting capabilities.

• Automate routine administrative tasks using scripting (Python and/or Bash) and Databricks REST APIs.

• Manage data access controls, auditing, and monitoring to maintain data integrity and privacy.

• Stay current with new features, updates, and best practices in Databricks, Azure, and relevant SaaS platforms.

• Document procedures, configurations, and troubleshooting steps for internal knowledge sharing.

What you bring to the table:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Proven experience administering Azure Databricks (or cross-cloud equivalent), including workspace setup, cluster management, and performance tuning.

• Solid understanding of Azure cloud services (e.g., Azure Data Lake, Azure Synapse Analytics, Entra, Azure DevOps).

• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (preferred), and experience working with CI/CD pipelines to deploy and manage cloud resources.

• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts-storage, networking, and identity and access management (IAM)-including applied experience with VNets/subnets and Private Link (or cross-cloud equivalents).

• Experience integrating and managing SaaS products within a cloud-based data ecosystem.

• Strong scripting and automation skills (Python and/or Bash).

• Knowledge of big data concepts, Spark architecture, and ETL processes.

• Familiarity with data security, compliance, and governance best practices.

• Agility, innovation, responsiveness and a continuous improvement mindset through proactive problem-solving and ownership of outcomes.

• Able to effectively manage competing demands, rapidly shifting priorities, and high-pressure moments.

• Relevant certifications (e.g., Azure Administrator, Databricks Certified Associate) are a plus.
