• Work with D&A Platform tools (FlexFlow, FlexShare, Metadata) to extend data capabilities.

• Tackle complex and previously unaddressed client problems — providing clarity, structured thinking, and innovative solutions.

• Take responsibility for capacity planning, task prioritization, and backlog management.

• Proactively suggest improvements and identify new areas of value (light cross-selling) within a trusted client relationship.

• Collaborate with both technical and business teams — contributing not only as an expert, but as someone shaping the direction of work.

• Communication skills enabling smooth stakeholder collaboration.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.

• Several years of hands-on experience as a Data Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or related role with Databricks focus.
