  • Integrate Databricks with CI/CD pipelines for automated code deployment and environment management.
  • Provide Tier 2/3 technical support for Databricks incidents and service requests.
  • Develop platform documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures for internal users.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or an additional four years of experience).
  • 8+ years of experience administering cloud-based data platforms or big data environments.
  • Hands-on administration experience with Databricks on Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
  • Familiarity with Spark concepts including clusters, executors, jobs, partitions, and performance considerations.
  • Experience with cloud storage (Azure Data Lake Storage, S3, GCS) and identity and access management (IAM).
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust (MBI T2) clearance.
  • Must meet specific U.S. residency requirements for the past five years.
