- Build and tune Databricks workloads for performance and cost, including cluster sizing, query optimization, and Delta Lake table design.
- Implement and utilize best practices for partitioning, clustering, and workload isolation.
- Track performance trends, identify high-cost queries, and partner with source teams and end users to resolve long-running loads.
- Design and operationalize Unity Catalog for data governance — access control, lineage, and security.
- Build monitoring and self-healing automation using Databricks-native AI and agentic capabilities.
- Contribute to CI/CD workflows for Databricks assets, applying DevOps best practices for deployment and release management.
- Deliver assigned pipelines and workloads with guidance from senior engineers, growing toward independent ownership.
What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)
