• Experience with ITIL‑aligned incident and request management, including priority matrices, SLAs, escalation paths, and root cause analysis.

• Additional exposure to Databricks Apps, Lakebase, Delta Live Tables or Lakeflow, Databricks Asset Bundles, GitHub Actions, Terraform, ServiceNow, MCP‑based integrations, Semantic Kernel, LangChain, LLM observability, Databricks AI features, SRE practices, or regulated industries is beneficial.

Responsibilities

• Own incident and service request resolution within defined SLAs, performing approved remediation such as job reruns, cluster restarts, configuration updates, and resolution of known data issues.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders and L3 product teams to troubleshoot end‑to‑end integrations, elevate complex or code‑level issues with clear evidence, and validate implemented fixes.
• Troubleshoot front‑end, API, backend, database, connectivity, and integration issues using logs, traces, Spark UI, browser developer tools, monitoring tools, and system diagnostics.
• Manage Databricks access and permissions across workspaces, Unity Catalog, groups, and service principals while supporting applications and data platforms.
