This role owns ongoing lakehouse upkeep—environment administration, pipeline operations, monitoring, and new data ingestion—while also partnering across IT to deliver broader Azure cloud initiatives beyond the lakehouse (platform governance, automation, security improvements, and new cloud services). The role works closely with internal stakeholders to ensure the platform remains stable, cost-effective, compliant (HIPAA), and scalable.

Ability to have strong verbal and written interpersonal communication.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with Azure Databricks administration, including cluster policies, job orchestration, and Databricks SQL.
Experience with Delta Lake/lakehouse patterns and Bronze/Silver/Gold architectures.
Experience supporting Power BI (gateways, datasets, refresh troubleshooting, performance tuning) and/or semantic modeling.
Familiarity with healthcare data environments and HIPAA-related administrative safeguards.
Experience implementing monitoring/alerting (e.g., Azure Monitor/Log Analytics) and cost governance practices.
Scripting/automation skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and Infrastructure-as-Code exposure (Terraform/Bicep) are a plus.

Responsibilities

Own day-to-day operations of the Azure Lakehouse/Databricks platform and contribute to broader Azure cloud initiatives; monitor health, performance, security posture, and cost; manage incidents and coordinate resolution with internal IT teams.
Administer Azure Databricks workspaces (clusters/SQL warehouses, libraries, job scheduling, workspace permissions) and supporting Azure services (networking, Key Vault/secret management, storage) as applicable to the environment.
Support ingestion and transformation jobs (batch/stream) across Bronze/Silver/Gold layers; manage job schedules, retries, SLAs, and exception alerting; perform root-cause analysis for failed loads.
Partner with the BI team on data quality monitoring and reconciliation; support root-cause analysis by tracing issues through ingestion, storage, and compute; maintain lineage/metadata documentation and help ensure governance controls and access policies are implemented consistently.
Implement and maintain role-based access controls (least privilege), audit logging, and PHI/PII handling controls (including de-identification where required); assist with security reviews and evidence collection.
Coordinate change requests, regression testing, and deployments for pipelines, notebooks, and semantic layers; maintain runbooks and standard operating procedures.
Support connectivity and performance for analytics consumption tools (e.g., Power BI); troubleshoot refresh failures, dataset issues, and user access problems.
Participate in backup/restore planning, disaster recovery procedures, and periodic testing aligned to organizational requirements.
Deliver and support ongoing Azure improvements such as landing-zone/guardrails alignment, networking and private connectivity updates, identity and access enhancements, monitoring/alerting expansion, cost optimization, and enablement of additional Azure services used by the organization.
Implement and maintain repeatable deployments and configuration using tools such as Terraform and/or Bicep; automate operational tasks (e.g., environment provisioning, monitoring, access reviews) using scripting (PowerShell/Python) where appropriate.
