Job description

Shape the data platform behind millions of workouts You don’t want to just build pipelines. You want to help set the direction and raise the bar together with your team.

• evaluate and introduce new Databricks capabilities (Lakeflow Connect, Databricks Apps, dashboards) and take them from idea to production
• use AI and agents to automate engineering work and improve data quality
• share your knowledge with medior and junior engineers through code reviews and pairing

Good ideas don’t stay in slide decks here - they get built, and you’ll help build them.

The team you’ll work with

You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary Data Platform Team with: Data Platform Engineers, Analysts, BI Developers, Data Scientists.

Who Are You?

• 3+ years of hands‑on Databricks experience in production
• Strong SQL, PySpark and Python, with a track record of clean, tested, maintainable code
• Experience building and running production pipelines, both batch and streaming (e.g. Lakeflow/Delta Live Tables, Structured Streaming, Azure Data Factory)
• Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure as code (e.g. Azure DevOps, Terraform, Databricks Asset Bundles)
• Solid knowledge of data modelling, governance, security and cost optimisation on a cloud data platform
• Experience contributing to architectural decisions or migrations, and explaining trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical colleagues
• Excellent communication skills in English

Bonus points:

• experience applying AI and LLMs to data engineering, keeping up with new Databricks features, mentoring other engineers, and Power BI or another reporting tool.
