  • Monitor solution adoption, drive continuous improvement, and act as the voice of the business stakeholders to internal product/engineering teams.
4. Innovation & Scale
  • Stay ahead of emerging technologies in Databricks, AWS, ML/AI -- and translate them into new solution patterns and accelerator frameworks Promote reusable reference architectures, automation templates, observability frameworks and governance guardrails that enable scale and repeatability.
Requirements
  • Deep technical expertise in Databricks and AWS, including integration of services across both platforms (e.g., Delta Lake, EMR, Glue, S3, SageMaker).
  • Proven hands-on implementation skills: capable of designing and delivering complex systems end to end -- infrastructure, data, ML pipelines, monitoring and operations.
  • Experience building scalable ML/AI platforms: ingesting & processing large volumes of data, feature engineering, model training/deployment, monitoring and lifecycle management.
  • Strong programming experience with Python, SQL; familiarity with Spark; experience with IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), orchestration (Airflow, Databricks Workflows) and container/Kubernetes environments.
  • Stakeholder-facing orientation: ability to engage with both technical and business stakeholders, translate requirements into solutions, and present ideas clearly.
  • Solid understanding of DevSecOps, DataOps, observability, cost-governance and platform reliability best-practices.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; experience working across geographies and in fast-moving, multi-stakeholder environments.
