About the role

You will design, automate, and operate scalable, reliable data platforms—primarily Databricks—on Conagra’s Azure environment. Your mission is to enable consistent, high-quality data engineering and data product delivery through CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, and strong disaster recovery practices. You will apply Site Reliability Engineering principles to strengthen automation, observability, and resilience across the data platform ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Build, operate, and optimize Databricks workspaces, clusters, jobs, storage integrations, and platform configurations.
• Manage workspace governance, cluster policies, secrets, access controls, and cost guardrails.
• Automate platform provisioning, onboarding, and environment consistency through Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable consistent deployment of notebooks, transformations, libraries, and data products, supporting test-driven development standards.
• Standardize data product delivery using reusable pipeline templates and paved-road deployment frameworks.
• Enforce guardrails and quality gates to ensure reliable, safe, and compliant data product releases.
• Participate in on-call rotations for platform incidents.
• Execute runbooks, lead postmortems, and drive improvements that enhance platform reliability.
• Perform scheduled chaos testing and disaster recovery readiness checks.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in platform engineering, data platform operations, Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or similar roles.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience supporting Databricks in a production environment.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems, data pipelines, and integrations.

• Strong experience with CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, and platform-level automation.
• Experience with operational best practices including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root-cause analysis.
• Strong communication skills and ease collaborating with engineering and business-facing teams.

Preferred

• 2+ years of experience operating cloud environments (Azure preferred).
• Experience with Terraform, policy-as-code, observability tooling, and disaster recovery engineering.
• Experience influencing platform strategy and mentoring teams on Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps for data engineering.
