Azure Platform Engineer
Pay Rate/Salary: $60/hr to $65/hr on Inc
Your New Company
Your New Role
- The customer is looking for a Senior, hands-on Azure Platform Engineer with strong platform expertise across Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Terraform, GitHub Actions, networking, access management, and platform troubleshooting.
- The successful candidate should be capable of operating independently, troubleshooting complex platform issues, and guiding junior members within the customer squad, effectively bridging the technical gap between the customer’s senior architect and junior engineers.
- The Platform Engineer will primarily support the environment used by Data Engineers and Power BI teams, particularly across Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Storage, and associated Azure services.
What You Need to Do
What You'll Need to Succeed:
- Candidates should demonstrate strong hands-on experience with Terraform, including modules and deployment of Azure resources. Experience with GitHub Actions and Jenkins for CI/CD and automated deployments is required.
- The role requires strong expertise with Azure Databricks (ADB), including clusters, workflows, deployments, and platform troubleshooting. Experience with Azure Data Factory (ADF), including pipelines and Linked Services, is also required.
- The successful candidate will have experience deploying and provisioning Storage Accounts, Azure Data Factory, and Azure Databricks. Strong knowledge of Azure networking and connectivity troubleshooting is essential.
- The position requires hands-on experience with access provisioning, permissions, and authorization-related troubleshooting. Experience supporting Disaster Recovery scenarios, particularly involving Azure Databricks or other core platform services, is also required.
Troubleshooting Capability Expected:
- The successful candidate should be able to explain how they would diagnose and resolve real platform issues, including connectivity failures between Azure Storage Accounts and Azure Data Factory.
- The role requires the ability to identify missing or failing network and security rules, troubleshoot Azure Data Factory pipeline failures including unauthorized-access issues, and resolve Azure Databricks cluster, workflow, and platform-related issues.
- The candidate should also be able to troubleshoot access and permission-related problems and explain recovery approaches when Azure Databricks or other critical platform components become unavailable.
- The expectation is not simply to identify an issue, but to explain the troubleshooting approach, identify the root cause, and describe how the issue was resolved.
Role Boundaries:
- This is not a traditional Infrastructure Engineer or Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) position.
- Experience primarily focused on VM creation and administration, VM backup and maintenance, Kubernetes cluster administration, or general infrastructure management without strong Azure data-platform experience is not sufficient for this requirement.
What You'll Get in Return:
- You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals in a dynamic and supportive environment.
- The organization is offering competitive compensation, professional development opportunities, and the chance to contribute to a modern Azure data platform supporting Data Engineering and Power BI teams.
