Databricks Platform Administrator (AWS)

You’ll be the dedicated administrator for an enterprise Databricks platform on AWS as it moves from setup into production. You’ll keep the platform secure, governed and cost-controlled, so teams across the business can work with customer and billing data they trust.

What you’ll do

• Own access across the Development, Test, UAT and Production workspaces: users, groups, service principals and Unity Catalog grants, delivered through group-based permissions and reviewed every month.
• Finish the platform build-out (PrivateLink networking, SSO/SCIM, customer-managed keys, new workspaces, recovery procedures), working with network, identity and security teams.
• Make configuration changes through Terraform and Databricks Asset Bundles under change control, so production carries no undocumented changes.
• Run Delta Sharing for data received from the Kraken customer and billing platform: shared catalogs, grants and revokes, and follow-up on reconciliation exceptions.
• Triage and resolve platform incidents, write root-cause analyses for P1 and P2 incidents, and manage Databricks Support cases.
• Keep cost and security under control through usage and tagging monitoring, cluster sizing, audit-log review and remediation of findings, all reported monthly.
• Leave the team self-sufficient with runbooks, standards, onboarding sessions and knowledge transfer.

What you’ll need
