Job summary

AMCS Group is hiring a Platform Engineer to manage the Azure Databricks platform and related Azure infrastructure, focusing on security, reliability, and availability by design. You’ll deliver platform as code so teams can run data and AI workloads safely.

You’ll provision workspaces, administer Unity Catalog, build CI/CD pipelines, and enforce cost controls while collaborating with data engineering and analytics teams to resolve issues quickly.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience administering Databricks workspaces in production — cluster policies, SQL warehouses, workspace-level security.
• Experience with Unity Catalog governance (or equivalent data catalog/governance layer).
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform and/or Bicep) provisioning cloud data platform resources.
• Experience with Databricks Workflows/Lakeflow Jobs, including multi-task job dependency design.
• Familiarity with Git-based CI/CD and deploying Databricks Asset Bundles.
• Solid grasp of cloud security fundamentals: identity federation, secrets management, network isolation.
• Comfortable working from cost/usage data to right-size compute rather than over-provisioning by default.

Responsibilities

• Provision and maintain Databricks workspaces (dev/test/prod) via IaC.
• Administer Unity Catalog: catalogs/schemas/external locations, access control, data lineage.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline for databricks-workspace via Databricks Asset Bundle.
• Configure and enforce security: Entra ID SSO, secret scopes/Key Vault integration, network isolation.
• Monitor and optimize platform cost: DBU consumption, autoscaling/termination policies.
• Partner with data engineering & analytics team building the dbt project and escalate issues as needed.

Job description

We are hiring a Platform Engineer to deliver the engineering, operation, and administration of AMCS's Azure Databricks platform and its supporting Azure infrastructure — ensuring it is secure, reliable, and available by design, and that platform capability is delivered as code so teams can build and run data and AI workloads safely on top of it.

What you'll work on

• Provision and maintain Databricks workspaces (dev/test/prod) via the Infrastructure-as-Code — networking, cluster policies, SQL warehouses.
• Administer Unity Catalog: catalogs/schemas/external locations, access control, and data lineage across the platform.
• Build and maintain the CI/CD pipeline for databricks-workspace, structured as a Databricks Asset Bundle (notebooks, job/pipeline definitions, cluster policies), deployed via databricks bundle deploy per environment.
• Configure and enforce security: Entra ID SSO, secret scopes/Key Vault integration, network isolation.
• Monitor and optimize platform cost: DBU consumption, cluster autoscaling/termination policies, job vs. all-purpose cluster usage.
• Partner with the data engineering & analytics team building the dbt project — you're the escalation point when a job fails, a cluster misbehaves, or access/governance needs change.

What we're looking for

Must-have:

• Hands-on experience administering Databricks workspaces in production — cluster policies, SQL warehouses, workspace-level security.
• Experience with Unity Catalog governance (or an equivalent data catalog/governance layer).
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform and/or Bicep) provisioning cloud data platform resources.
• Experience with Databricks Workflows/Lakeflow Jobs, including multi-task job dependency design.
• Familiarity with Git-based CI/CD and deploying Databricks Asset Bundles.
• Solid grasp of cloud security fundamentals: identity federation (Entra ID/Azure AD), secrets management, network isolation.
• Comfortable working from cost/usage data to right-size compute rather than over-provisioning by default.

What We Offer

• Hybrid working that keeps you flexible and connected.
• Day 1 healthcare for you and up to three dependents.
• 25 days annual leave.
• Company shuttle service.
• Free onsite meals and unlimited coffee.
• Competitive allowances and wellbeing benefits.
• Global collaboration with teams across our locations.
• Continuous learning to grow your career.
• Build innovative SaaS and AI solutions for a more sustainable future.
