Data Platform Engineer (102-08SENG-01)
This role converts a large Azure Data Factory estate into Databricks workflows on AWS. The scope for year one: 2,094 ADF pipelines to migrate — built as reusable templates rather than one-by-one — 9,859 pipeline activities to translate (some map directly, others need rewriting as Lambda or Step Functions), 471 Spark dataflows to move onto Databricks on AWS, and 4 Databricks workspaces (Dev, QA, Pre-prod, Prod) to rehost, including notebook paths and Unity Catalog rewiring. This is a regulated environment, so reconciling migrated data against source systems is part of the definition of done, not an afterthought.
Requirements
What you will do
-
Convert Azure Data Factory pipelines into Databricks workflows on AWS, building reusable templates rather than migrating one at a time.
-
Rehost Databricks workspaces onto AWS and migrate ADLS Gen2 storage to S3.

Build and tune PySpark transformations for production data volumes.
-
Replace Azure Synapse Serverless with Databricks SQL Warehouse.
-
Reconcile migrated data against source systems as part of the definition of done.
