Job Description Summary:
We are seeking a hands-on Senior/Staff Data Platform Engineer to own and evolve our established Databricks platform on AWS. The platform supports mission-critical data, analytics, and AI workloads built on regulated healthcare data across multiple teams and products.
This is an individual-contributor technical leadership role reporting to the Director of Data Platform Engineering, with no direct reports initially. It is a platform-engineering role—not an application data-engineering, data-science, or MLOps role. You will engineer the shared foundation, guardrails, automation, observability, and self-service capabilities used by Data Engineering, Analytics, ML Engineering, AI Engineering, and MLOps.
Key responsibilities
Databricks platform ownership
Own Databricks account- and workspace-level capabilities across development, test, and production environments.
Automate workspace provisioning and configuration, including identity federation, SSO/SCIM integration, service principals, workspace assignments, entitlements, and administrative controls.
Administer Unity Catalog, including metastores, workspace bindings, storage credentials, external locations, lineage, auditing, and implementation of the access model defined by Data Governance and data owners.
Define approved patterns for serverless and classic compute, jobs, interactive compute, SQL warehouses, and specialized compute when required.
Maintain compute policies, runtime and library standards, tagging, auto-termination, quotas, compatibility testing, and LTS/deprecation plans that balance security, performance, reliability, and cost.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC), AWS integration, and security
Own the IaC strategy and implementation for the Databricks platform, building and maintaining reusable Terraform modules with the Databricks and AWS providers.
Manage supported account, workspace, Unity Catalog, compute, and AWS integration configurations through code, with environment isolation, automated plans and tests, approval controls, and configuration-drift detection and remediation.
Build tested CI/CD workflows using account, workspace, Unity Catalog, and shared-platform changes, including peer review, approvals, controlled promotion, and rollback.
Provide reusable Declarative Automation Bundle templates—formerly Databricks Asset Bundles—and secure deployment patterns. Workload teams remain responsible for their code and releases.
Consume enterprise AWS guardrails and partner with Cloud Platform to automate Databricks-specific networking, private connectivity, IAM, S3, KMS, DNS, secrets management, and connectivity with services such as Aurora and Kafka.
Implement approved controls for PHI and other sensitive data, including encryption, network isolation and egress, privileged access, logging, approval…
