Job Specifications

A leading technology consulting group is partnering with a major financial services organization to modernize and scale its data platform. This role centers on architecting and optimizing a robust Azure-based Lakehouse environment, with Databricks as a foundational component. As a platform engineer, you'll drive cloud infrastructure design, containerized microservices enablement, and end-to-end observability across critical data systems used by risk, compliance, and analytics teams.

You'll work hands-on with Azure Databricks, Apache Spark, and Delta Lake to build and manage large-scale data pipelines. This includes owning the setup of secure, production-grade Azure infrastructure--covering AKS, Key Vault, Networking, and Storage--while championing automation and DevOps practices with Terraform, ARM templates, and CI/CD tooling like GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. This is a high-impact role ideal for engineers with deep platform experience who want to drive infrastructure excellence within a highly regulated domain.

In-depth knowledge of Azure infrastructure services: AKS, Container Registries, Key Vault, Networking, and Resource Manager
Proven track record building and operating microservices-based architectures and implementing Infrastructure-as-Code with tools like Terraform and ARM

Desired Skills & Experience

Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, or Datadog
Exposure to adjacent technologies like MongoDB Atlas and Confluent Cloud Kafka in a cloud-native environment
