Job Description

Job Description and Purpose We’re seeking a hands-on DevOps Engineer to build and standardize Azure DevOps automation for data/analytics delivery—primarily focused on Databricks, while also supporting deployments across other Azure components. You’ll create repeatable CI/CD patterns, improve deployment reliability, and enable teams to ship changes safely across environments. KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Design, build, and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines (YAML-first) for Databricks and Azure platform components.
• Implement automated deployments for Databricks assets, including notebooks, repos, jobs/workflows, libraries, and configuration across dev/test/prod.
• Develop reusable pipeline templates, shared task groups, and standardized “golden path” patterns for engineering teams.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for Azure and Databricks resources (e.g., Terraform and/or Bicep/ARM), including environment promotion strategies.
• Establish release practices: branching strategy, artifact/versioning, approvals, change control, and rollback/restore patterns.
• Integrate secure authentication and secret management with Azure Key Vault, service connections, managed identities/service principals, and least-privilege RBAC.
• Automate deployments/integration for related Azure services as needed (commonly including):
• ADLS Gen2, Key Vault, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics
• Azure Data Factory (if in use), Event Hubs/Service Bus
• Azure Functions/Logic Apps (where applicable)
• Improve reliability through quality gates: automated tests, linting, policy checks, and deployment validations.
• Implement monitoring/alerting for pipeline health and Databricks job outcomes using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and pipeline telemetry.
• Produce clear documentation: runbooks, pipeline guides, onboarding material, and operational procedures. JOB REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS
• 3–7+ years of experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering / SRE with strong delivery ownership.
• Demonstrated expertise building Azure DevOps Pipelines (YAML), including multi-stage pipelines, variable groups, approvals, environments, and artifacts.
• Experience automating deployments for Databricks using one or more of: o Databricks CLI and/or REST APIs o Terraform Databricks provider o Packaging/release patterns for notebooks/jobs/libraries
• Strong knowledge of Azure fundamentals: networking, RBAC, Key Vault, storage, and monitoring.
• Proficiency with scripting/automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and Git workflows.
• Hands-on experience with IaC (Terraform preferred; Bicep/ARM acceptable).
