Monitoring & Operations
  • Monitor workspace health, jobs, clusters, and platform performance.
  • Respond to incidents and perform root cause analysis.
  • Maintain operational dashboards and alerts.
  • Support production releases and platform maintenance activities.

Cost Optimization
  • Monitor Databricks usage and cloud spending.
  • Recommend cluster sizing and auto-scaling strategies.
  • Optimize job scheduling and compute utilization.
  • Track cost trends and recommend savings opportunities.

Compliance & Audit
  • Configure audit logging.
  • Ensure platform complies with enterprise security policies.
  • Support internal and external audits.
  • Maintain operational documentation and platform standards.
