Data Platform Engineer

Databricks Platform Engineer | London (Hybrid, 2 days/wk) | Up to £75K Own a Databricks Lakehouse platform, not just build on top of one. We're looking for a platform engineer who lives and breathes reliability, governance, and cost — not a data engineer who happens to use Databricks. What you'll actually do: 🔹 Provision and operate Databricks workspaces, clusters, SQL warehouses 🔹 Own Unity Catalog: schemas, row/column-level security, lineage, audit 🔹 Build real Terraform modules for Databricks + CI/CD automation 🔹 Tune Spark/Delta/Photon to cut DBU spend without slowing teams down 🔹 Manage SSO/SCIM, service principals, secrets, network isolation 🔹 Support MLflow, model serving and feature store for ML/GenAI work You'll thrive here if you: ✅ Have 3+ years hands-on administering Databricks in production (not just running notebooks on it) ✅ Can talk Terraform fluently — and have the scars to prove it ✅ Understand FinOps, not just "make it faster" ✅ Know SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR aren't just acronyms This is platform ownership, not pipeline building. If you're the person other engineers come to when Databricks breaks — not the person building on top of it — let's talk. 📩 DM me or apply below.
