  • Optimize batch ETL, streaming, and machine-learning workloads for performance, cost efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
  • Configure and administer Databricks workspaces, Unity Catalog, cluster policies, SQL Warehouses, access controls, and secure governed environments.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployments using Terraform, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Establish platform observability, monitoring, alerting, and cost-management practices using tools such as Splunk, Prometheus, or AWS CloudWatch and equivalent cloud-native tools.
  • Collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams to deliver AI/LLM solutions using MLflow, Mosaic AI, and relevant Databricks model-serving and evaluation capabilities.
  • Troubleshoot production issues, improve operational reliability, and document architecture, engineering standards, and runbooks.
  • Provide technical guidance, conduct code reviews, and mentor engineers on Databricks, data engineering, governance, and DevOps best practices.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, including workspace configuration, notebooks, compute, jobs, and orchestration.
  • Practical expertise in Delta Lake, DLT / Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines, Unity Catalog, and Databricks SQL Warehouses.

  • Good understanding of at least one major cloud ecosystem: AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools, Git-based workflows, CI/CD, and DevOps/MLOps practices.
  • Familiarity with monitoring, observability, security, and governance frameworks for large-scale data platforms.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to customer and engineering stakeholders.
