The Role...
As a Databricks Specialist, you’re the architect and execution engine, shaping modern Lakehouse architectures and turning massive, complex datasets into high-performance engines for analytics and AI.
What you might work on:
- Architecting, building and optimising enterprise Lakehouse platforms on Delta Lake and Unity Catalog.
- Developing resilient batch and streaming pipelines using PySpark, Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP), Structured Streaming and Auto Loader.
- Migrating legacy data warehouses and Hadoop estates onto modern Databricks environments.
- Collaborating closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and analytics teams to operationalise ML models via MLflow and Databricks Model Serving.
- Tuning workspace and query performance, and implementing cost-governance practices across large-scale client clusters.
- Establishing rock-solid governance and security in Unity Catalog (RBAC, lineage, row/column-level security).
What We’re looking for from you:
- Databricks experience – Data Engineer Professional certification is ideal, but if you're not certified, we'll pay for it, but we’ll expect demonstrable hands-on Databricks experience.
- Real delivery experience with data – you've built and shipped pipelines in production, not just in a lab.
- Hands-on with a modern data stack – Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Databricks Workflows, and orchestration and/or transformation tooling (Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Fivetran, etc).
- Advanced Spark and SQL – non-negotiable. Strong Python (PySpark), plus Scala or is a bonus.
- Cloud fluency – working knowledge of at least one of Azure, AWS or GCP.
- Medallion Architecture - you’ve had exposure to the gold, silver, bronze approach and can articulate its benefits.
- Cost and performance instincts – you understand that a job that finishes isn't the same as a job that should ship.
- Client-ready communication – you can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder in language they understand.
What You’ll Get
Your work matters and so do you. That's why we back your skills with a structure that supports your development, celebrates your wins, and helps you keep growing – professionally and personally.
Here's what's waiting for you:
- A platform for growth: Work across industries, clients and technologies that stretch your thinking and build your personal and professional skills.
- Mentoring Program: With a Senior Support Lead
- 360° Progress Reviews: Annual reviews based on honest feedback and clear goals.
