  • Experience designing and managing Unity Catalog for governance, access control, and lineage.

  • Familiarity with medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold) patterns.

  • Hands-on experience with Git version control, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative development workflows.

  • CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code for Databricks resources (Terraform, Asset Bundles, GitHub Actions).

  • MLflow experience: experiment tracking, model registry, deployment, and observability.

  • Cloud platform experience.

  • Experience working in client-facing, consulting, or cross-functional environments.

  • Experience leading technical projects or mentoring engineering teams.

Nice to Have

  • Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Associate or Professional, Machine Learning Associate or Professional, Data Engineer Associate or Professional or ML Engineer Associate or Professional).

  • Experience with agentic AI workflows, including agents, skills, and tools on the Databricks side (Agentbricks), as well as LangChain and Claude agentic workflows.
