You will manage Databricks Unity Catalog configurations, optimize cross-workspace access patterns, implement data federation strategies, and collaborate closely with cross-functional domain teams. If you are a proactive problem-solver with deep expertise in both relational and cloud-native database environments, we want to hear from you.
