## About the Role

You're the engineer who keeps the platform running well. You like building things properly, you're careful with security and cost, and you'd rather fix the root cause than patch the same problem twice.

You understand what the people using the platform need, whether that's data engineers, data scientists or AI engineers, and you make their lives easier. You're comfortable getting stuck into an incident at short notice, and you're just as happy writing the runbook afterwards so it doesn't happen again., Essential:

 * Experience running production Azure infrastructure
 * Hands-on Terraform and Git experience
 * Practical experience with Azure Databricks
 * Working knowledge of SQL and lakehouse architecture
 * Experience building production integrations using REST APIs
 * Scripting skills in Python, PowerShell or similar
 * Experience supporting production services and managing incidents
 * Clear communicator who follows problems through to completion

Desirable:

 * Unity Catalog, Databricks Asset Bundles or Lakeflow experience
 * Salesforce, HubSpot or registration system integrations
 * Azure Monitor, Defender for Cloud or disaster recovery testing

## Description

Run the Platform

 * Maintain Azure and Databricks infrastructure in Terraform, including environments, remote state and drift
 * Manage Databricks workspaces, compute, Unity Catalog and access
 * Look after networking, security and identity, working with IT where needed

Build Integrations

 * Design and support integrations between DataCore and systems like Salesforce, HubSpot and registration providers
 * Handle authentication, data mapping, API limits and failures

Keep It Reliable

 * Maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
 * Monitor platform health and data freshness, and investigate incidents
 * Keep backup and recovery runbooks current

Control Cost and Document

 * Track Azure and Databricks spend, and improve configuration with engineering teams
 * Document platform dependencies and automate routine tasks
