The Role & Responsibilities

The role will be responsible for taking technical ownership of key workstreams on EnerMech's Azure Databricks data platform, operating across the full platform stack: data modelling and pipeline development in Databricks, the underlying Azure infrastructure, and the CI/CD, DevOps and DataOps practices that keep the platform reliable, secure and scalable.

The role holder operates with a high degree of autonomy, makes and documents architectural decisions, resolves complex platform issues, and is a technical point of contact for the global EBS Team, and business stakeholders.

This is a fully remote role in the UK,supporting our Enterprise Business Systems (EBS) function in the Mumbai Shared Service Centre.

Key reponsibilities will include:

• Design, build, quality and reliable operation of assigned workstreams on the Azure Databricks data platform, from scoping through to production deployment.
• Integrity of the medallion data model (bronze/silver/gold) for assigned data domains, ensuring data is modelled, validated, documented and certified for downstream reporting and analytics.
• Build and optimise Delta tables and materialized views, with attention to performance at scale.
• Design and implement data quality frameworks (preferably DQX or equivalent), including quarantine/error handling and validation against data contracts.
• Define job-specific compute configurations appropriate to each workload, balancing performance and cost.
• Contribute to and troubleshoot Terraform-managed infrastructure (networking, storage, Key Vaults, Managed DevOps Pools, Dev Centers).
• Own and maintain Azure DevOps build and release pipelines, variable groups/libraries, and repository security, permissions and branch policies.
• Support environment-level Azure configuration, including subscription-level access, RBAC for user and pipeline (service principal) identities, and Terraform state backend management across multiple storage accounts and environments.
• Operate autonomously across a workstream, from scoping through to production deployment.
• Use AI-assisted tooling to support day-to-day development, validating outputs against authoritative sources (architecture decisions, technical leads, documentation) before acting on them.
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including across time zones with colleagues in the UK, Americas, Middle East and Asia Pacific.

The Requirements

Essential

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Typically 6+ years in data engineering, including 3+ years hands-on with Azure Databricks in production.

• Demonstrated ownership of medallion architecture design and data modelling.

• Implemented data quality frameworks and data contracts in production.

• Implemented PII protection (masking, tokenisation or access tiering) across environments.

• Platform engineering experience: diagnosing infrastructure issues, not just consuming platform services.

• Track record of autonomous delivery, including direct stakeholder engagement.

• Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate (minimum).

Desirable

• Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional.

• Microsoft AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions.

• Multi-environment Azure networking (VNet peering, DNS zone design, NAT Gateway).

• Migrating or standing up CI/CD pipelines, incl. introducing pipeline templates/standards.

• Governance and identity patterns (e.g. Entra ID, RBAC scoping).

• Applying regulatory frameworks (e.g. GDPR) to data platform design.
• Shared service centre or global delivery model experience, ideally in energy or industrial services.
