- Automate cloud provisioning, patching, and infrastructure lifecycle management
- Deploy and manage Databricks workspaces, clusters, and networking as part of modern lakehouse architectures
- Implement monitoring and observability using Open Telemetry or similar tooling
- Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, and operational playbooks to support long-term platform reliability
What We're Looking For
- 3–5+ years' experience in Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or Dev Ops
- Strong commercial experience with Terraform and Terragrunt
- Solid hands-on experience across both AWS and Azure
- Proven experience designing and managing Infrastructure as Code
- Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and cloud automation
- Experience deploying and managing Databricks infrastructure
- A solid understanding of modern data platforms, lakehouse architectures, and data warehousing concepts
- Nice to Have
