Databricks Platform Engineer

About the Role
We partner with global enterprises to design and build large-scale data platforms that power the products and operations at the center of their business.
As adoption grows, so does the work of keeping the platform resilient, automated, and easy to onboard onto. That includes building out disaster recovery, tuning networking, maintaining the infrastructure-as-code that new projects depend on, and clearing the blockers that slow teams down.
What You’ll Do
Deploy and manage Databricks platform resources with Terraform, and build reusable wrapper modules that let new projects onboard consistently.
Onboard new applications and initiatives onto the Databricks platform, working directly with the teams that own them.
Build and harden disaster recovery for the Databricks environment, including replication, failover, and recovery testing.
Optimize networking for the platform, including private connectivity, network security, and workspace configuration.
Build and maintain CI/CD and platform automation for infrastructure and deployments.
Resolve blockers and impediments that surface during platform build and onboarding.
Provide production support, including primary and secondary on-call for high-severity incidents, root cause analysis, and follow-up corrective work.
Track and update work in the client's ticketing systems, and document runbooks and standards so the platform stays operable.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years in platform, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure engineering, including hands-on administration of Databricks in production.
Strong Terraform experience, including writing and maintaining reusable modules. Experience with the Databricks Terraform provider is a strong plus.
Solid cloud infrastructure experience, especially networking: VPCs or VNets, private endpoints, DNS, and security groups.
Experience building CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform deployments.
Working knowledge of Unity Catalog, workspace administration, and cluster policies.
Experience supporting production platforms, including incident response and on-call.
Comfortable in a client-directed model, where priorities are set through the client's governance process and can shift as new initiatives arrive.
Clear written communication, including runbooks and incident write-ups.
Fluent English, both written and spoken.
Nice to Have
Experience designing or testing disaster recovery for Databricks or other data platforms.
Scripting in Python or Bash for platform automation.
Experience with ServiceNow or similar ITSM tools.
Prior work in healthcare or other regulated industries.
Databricks Platform Administrator accreditation or a cloud certification (AWS, Azure).
Why Lumenalta is an amazing place to work at
At Lumenalta, you can expect that you will:
Be 100% dedicated to one project at a time so that you can innovate and grow.
Be a part of a team of talented and friendly senior-level developers.
Work on projects that allow you to use leading tech.
For Databricks practitioners specifically, we are a Databricks partner with Champions and MVPs on our team, and that carries three concrete things:
Delivery Partner Program qualification. Databricks co-delivers its Professional Services engagements through a short list of approved partner organizations, and practitioners have to be individually qualified before they can work on them. The qualification is granted once at the individual level and does not expire, so it stays with you. Partner organizations are the route in, so the qualified pool stays small. That scarcity is most of the value, and we sponsor it.
Champion path. Databricks Champion is an individual recognition with its own badge, a dedicated Databricks solutions architect as your mentor, access to product teams, confidential roadmap briefings, and an invitation to the internal Tech Summit. Nomination has to come from a partner organization, which puts it out of reach for independents and most contractors. We nominate actively and regularly, and the Champions already on our team mentor candidates through it.
Certifications covered. We pay the exam fee for any Databricks certification you want to take.
Our Process
A screening call, a technical interview, and a HackerRank assessment. The technical interview is a conversation rather than a whiteboard exam. We will ask you to walk through an Oracle integration you built, how you handled security and access constraints, how you modeled logistics or ERP data alongside engineering data, and what you would change. Relevant project experience matters more to us than certifications.
Salary
Salary range: $100,000 - $150,000 annually, with final compensation determined by your qualifications, expertise, experience, and the role's scope.
Location:
This is a fully remote position. This role is remote within the United States only. Candidates must reside in the United States while assigned to our client and be physically located within the United States when performing project work or accessing project systems or data. Availability to work Eastern U.S. time zone business hours.
Benefits
In addition to competitive pay, we offer a variety of benefits to support your professional and personal growth, including:
Flexible working hours in a remote environment.
Health insurance (medical and dental) for W2 Employees.
401K Contribution.
A professional development fund to enhance your skills and knowledge.
15 days of paid time off annually.
Access to soft-skill development courses to further your career.
