Description

Central Garden & Pet is building a modern cloud-based Enterprise Data Platform to support reporting, advanced analytics, and data-driven decision making across its brands and business units. The DevOps Platform Engineer will design, implement, and operate the data platform—with a primary focus on Databricks—and the CI/CD pipelines that support data ingestion, transformation, and analytics workloads.
This role will own the Databricks platform experience (workspaces, clusters, permissions, jobs) and DevOps automation, partnering closely with data engineers, analytics engineers, and governance teams to ensure the platform is secure, scalable, reliable, and automated.
 
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 
  • Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for data pipelines (ingestion jobs) and transformation projects (e.g., dbt on Databricks, SQL, notebooks)
  • Orchestrate Databricks jobs and workflows end-to-end (ingestion, transformation, quality checks)
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD, including schema and contract checks for data models and tables
  • Implement FinOps best practices to support cost monitoring and allocation across the EDP
  • Automate platform operations for Databricks and related services, such as workspace and cluster provisioning, library and runtime mgmt. and job deployment/config

  • Provide patterns, templates, and reusable modules (Terraform modules, Airflow DAG patterns, Databricks job templates) to accelerate onboarding of new projects
  • Continuously evaluate and improve tooling, pipelines, and platform architecture to increase reliability, security, and developer productivity on Databricks
  • Define the code promotion process to minimize impacts across domains as code is promoted to production
  • Manage end-to-end orchestration using managed Airflow. Contribute to defining and tracking SLA/SLO/SLIs for the platform and participate in incident response (triage, root cause analysis)
  • Practical knowledge of IT Infrastructure technologies, cloud computing Azure), cybersecurity, and disaster recovery.
  • Working knowledge of Azure ecosystem, including hands-on experience designing, building, and optimizing scalable data pipelines within cloud-native environments.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks in production environment, including workspace and cluster management, jobs/workflows and integrations with orchestration tools
  • Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar) and Git-based workflows.
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and orchestration tools for provisioning and managing Databricks and cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience implementing automated tests and quality gates in CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ability to partner effectively with data engineers, analytics engineers, architects, and security teams.
MINIMUM EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field preferred, or equivalent work experience.
  • 4–7+ years in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering, with at least 2+ years supporting data/analytics platforms.
  • Experience operating production data workloads, including monitoring, logging, performance tuning, and incident response.
  • Scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) for automation and integration.
  • Experience in CPG, retail, manufacturing, or distribution environments preferred.
POSITION INFORMATION  
  • This position pays $120,000-$150,000 per year based on experience and location.
