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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

This role is a new member of our growing team.
