• Use cloud‑native services to ensure encryption in transit and at rest.

• Work with Databricks Unity Catalog to organize data assets and manage access controls.

• Implement basic row‑level and column‑level access policies aligned with client requirements.

• Contribute to governance alignment across Databricks, Azure Fabric, and Power BI, without duplicating policies.

• Act as a consultative partner, not just a task executor.

• Ask questions, challenge assumptions, and propose improvements.

• Work closely with client teams and other vendors to align on technical decisions.

• 7+ years of experience in data engineering / data platforms

• Strong hands‑on experience with Azure Databricks and PySpark.
