Job Description Design and run enterprise-grade Azure cloud platforms with a strong bias toward data workloads (analytics, pipelines, lakehouses—not CSVs on desktops). Lead data platform engineering: CI/CD and IaC for Databricks, data services, and supporting cloud infrastructure. Administer and harden Azure Databricks (workspaces, clusters, security, cost controls) like someone who’s broken it before—and fixed it. Build and operate containerized data services using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS), keeping pipelines scalable, observable, and drama-free. Serve as trusted DevOps authority for data-heavy client environments, translating analytics ambitions into production-grade reality. Requirements 6+ years in DevOps / Cloud Engineering, with serious exposure to data platforms and analytics workloads. Deep hands-on expertise in Microsoft Azure, especially services supporting data engineering and platform scalability. Strong experience with Databricks platform administration (security, networking, automation—running notebooks doesn’t count). Proficiency in IaC (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python). Solid knowledge of containers & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS) for data-centric services and tooling.
