Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and manage Databricks workspaces across AWS, Azure, or GCP using infrastructure as code (Terraform, Databricks Terraform Provider, ARM/Bicep, or CloudFormation).

• Automate environment promotion (dev, test, prod) and enforce release management, version control, and change management standards.

• Support MLOps workflows using MLflow, Model Registry, and Model Serving.

• Troubleshoot platform, pipeline, and performance issues, and lead root-cause analysis for production incidents.

• Partner with data engineering, security, and architecture teams to define platform standards and reference architectures.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing.

• Ensure compliance with organizational and regulatory requirements (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, FISMA, HIPAA, or SOC 2, as applicable).


Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering, with at least 3 years working hands-on with Databricks.

• Strong experience with Terraform and the Databricks Terraform Provider.

• Deep expertise in at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP), including networking, IAM, and storage services.

• Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines for data platforms.

• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation, plus familiarity with the Databricks REST API and CLI.

• Solid understanding of Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architecture.

• Hands-on experience with Unity Catalog administration and data governance.

• Strong knowledge of Git-based workflows and branching strategies.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Preferred Qualifications

• Databricks certifications (Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional, Platform Administrator).

• Cloud certifications such as AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional, or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.

• Experience with Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs) and Delta Live Tables.
