Job Description
We’re seeking a Databricks Platform Engineer to own and evolve a production-grade Databricks environment supporting data engineering, analytics, and machine learning (ML) workloads. In this role, you’ll partner closely with data engineers, ML engineers, software engineers, and cloud teams to design scalable platform architecture, automate infrastructure, and embed security and governance by default. You’ll also focus on improving developer experience through self-service tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and reusable platform components.
The Databricks platform plays a foundational role in enabling data pipelines, analytics products, and ML workflows. As the platform owner, you’ll make sure the environment is reliable, observable, cost-efficient, and easy to use, helping teams move faster while maintaining enterprise standards. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on platform engineering, end-to-end ownership, and building systems that others rely on every day.
