GDIT is seeking an experienced Databricks Administrator / Platform Engineer to lead administration, governance, and operational management of an enterprise Databricks environment. This role is responsible for core platform administration across workspaces, Unity Catalog, access controls, storage integrations, compute governance, and secure platform operations.

• Define and enforce operational standards for cluster policies, compute governance, runtime management, workspace security, and scalable platform usage.
• Troubleshoot platform issues related to permissions, connectivity, compute usage, storage access, workspace administration, and job execution.
• Contribute data engineering expertise to platform best practices, including ingestion, transformation, orchestration, data quality, and performance optimization patterns.
• Advise governance teams on standards for curated data products, metadata, tagging, lineage, and data quality expectations.
• Partner with security, cloud, and engineering teams to improve monitoring, auditability, policy enforcement, and administrative guardrails.
• Support cost optimization efforts by recommending best practices for workload management, cluster sizing, autoscaling, scheduling, and efficient resource usage.
• Participate in platform design discussions, architecture reviews, and operational planning to improve scalability, maintainability, and governance maturity.
• Create and maintain documentation, standards, runbooks, and repeatable operating procedures for platform administration and governed delivery.
• As needed, provide platform-level guidance for adjacent analytics and AI capabilities in alignment with governance and operational standards.

• Technical training/certification(s) and 5+ years of Databricks administration, platform engineering, or data engineering operations.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience administering Databricks in an enterprise environment.
• Strong experience with Unity Catalog, workspace administration, permissions management, user/group access controls, and storage integrations.
• Practical data engineering experience using SQL, Python, PySpark, or Spark in support of pipeline troubleshooting, platform standards, and engineering collaboration.
• Strong understanding of Databricks security best practices, including RBAC, ABAC, least privilege, cluster policies, secrets management, and secure workspace configuration.
• Experience supporting governance initiatives such as metadata management, tagging, lineage, access policies, or data quality standards.
• Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or multi-cloud Databricks environments.
• Experience balancing hands-on administrative responsibilities with strategic advisory work on platform design, policies, and best practices.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust.
