SouthRivers Data is a data & AI engineering partner. We strengthen the teams of consultancies and end clients across the EU, UK, and North America with senior data and AI engineers.
We're looking for a Data Platform Engineer with strong Databricks and Unity Catalog experience to join the data platform team of a large European banking group.
Responsibilities:
- Configure data access in Unity Catalog: catalogs, schemas, grants, views
- Manage infrastructure through Terraform, with changes via pull request
- Integrate data from legacy systems
- Provide operational support: sprint on-call rotation, Jira ticket handling
- Communicate with internal stakeholders about platform capabilities and limitations
Requirements:
- 2+ years of Databricks experience in production
- Experience with Unity Catalog: grants, access rights, row-level security
- Strong hands-on Terraform experience
- Experience with Azure: AD/Entra groups, resource groups, basic networking
- Strong SQL
- Experience working with Git via pull requests
- Comfortable with operational work and ticket-based support — this makes up about half of the role
- Able to explain technical limitations to stakeholders and propose alternatives
Nice to have:
- Experience in banking or another regulated industry
- Experience working specifically in a platform team
- Knowledge of Databricks CLI/SDK
Please note: This is a Middle-level, hands-on role - not a Senior/Architect position. Candidates looking to grow into ML or solution architecture won't find that scope here.
