About the job
Requirements
- Demonstrated hands-on delivery with Databricks Unity Catalog identity and security, including service-principal versus on-behalf-of-user execution, account-level versus workspace identity, and designing within client-controlled grants.
- Demonstrated delivery of a web application that executes user-supplied SQL against Databricks SQL warehouses with correct identity handling; experience with Databricks Apps hosting is preferred, while equivalent hosting is acceptable if the candidate owned identity and warehouse execution.
- Experience using Databricks Asset Bundles across development, sandbox, and production environments, and the Jobs API, including triggering jobs from external events.
- Databricks workspace and infrastructure administration experience, including SQL warehouses, compute and app configuration, secrets, connections, credentials, entitlements, permissions, and cost monitoring.
- Experience designing catalogs, schemas, and tables in Unity Catalog, including naming standards, environment separation, and schema evolution.
- Advanced SQL skills, strong Databricks SQL skills, and sufficient source-side SQL experience (such as T-SQL or Oracle) to read and reason about the external system being ingested.
- Experience configuring ingestion from external SQL systems into Databricks, including connectors, incremental loading, scheduling, reconciliation, and failure handling.
- Ability to deliver within another organization's guardrails, escalate access blockers, and communicate in writing across time zones.
- Experience building and supporting web applications, including front-end delivery with Node.js, React, or an equivalent supported framework; rendering query results, accepting parameters, handling errors, and maintaining performance under real user load.
- Knowledge of the Unity Catalog identity and security model, including service principals, groups, grants, ownership, storage credentials, and external locations; ability to specify required grants and request them through the client's process.
- Experience configuring and right-sizing SQL warehouses, with attention to concurrency, cost, and response time.
- Experience with Git, code review, and integration with a client CI/CD pipeline.
Responsibilities
- Build, configure, deploy, and support a web application hosted on Databricks Apps that serves data to business users.
- Deliver an app that executes user-supplied or parameterized SQL against Databricks SQL warehouses with correct end-to-end identity handling.
- Design and justify authorization choices between on-behalf-of-user execution and app service-principal execution, accounting for row-level access and auditability.
- Manage app configuration, secrets, resource bindings, permissions, and app lifecycle across environments.
- Configure and operate ingestion from external SQL systems into Unity Catalog using managed connectors, JDBC or connection objects, Lakehouse Federation, or the client's standard pattern.
- Set up full-refresh and incremental loads, scheduling, watermarking, reconciliation, and failure handling.
- Own source connectivity, including connection objects, credentials, service principals, network reachability, and coordination with source-system owners.
- Validate landed data against the source, including row counts, types, nulls, and late-arriving records, and document the checks.
- Design catalog, schema, and table layouts for landed and curated data, including naming standards, object structure, and environment-specific data locations.
- Specify required grants for the app and pipelines, request them through the client's process, and design within the privileges the platform team will provide.
- Apply schema evolution and change management without breaking downstream consumers.
- Configure and right-size SQL warehouses for app and reporting workloads, tuning concurrency, cost, and response time.
- Administer workspace configuration relevant to the build, including compute policies, app compute, secret scopes, connection and credential objects, entitlements, and permissions.
- Monitor usage, query history, and system tables; keep the solution within agreed cost envelopes and flag risks early.
- Package and promote the app, jobs, and supporting objects with Databricks Asset Bundles across development, sandbox, and production, using appropriate environment-specific configuration.
- Build and operate jobs through the Jobs API, including triggering jobs from external events rather than schedules.
- Work in Git, participate in code review, and integrate with the client's CI/CD pipeline.
- Monitor production pipelines and the app, triage and resolve failures, and own fixes through to closure.
- Tune SQL and warehouse behavior when queries are slow or expensive.
- Produce runbooks, architecture notes, and access-model documentation to enable the client team to operate the solution.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience hosting applications on Databricks Apps; equivalent hosting experience is acceptable when the candidate personally owned identity handling and warehouse execution.
