Original job description
Senior Azure Platform Engineer
Toronto- Hybrid
1. Overall Expectation
The customer is looking for a Senior, hands-on Azure Platform Engineer with strong platform expertise across Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Terraform, GitHub Actions, networking, access management, and platform troubleshooting.
The candidate should be capable of operating independently, troubleshooting complex platform issues, and guiding junior members within the customer squad, effectively bridging the technical gap between the customer's senior architect and junior engineers.
2. Mandatory Technical Skills
Candidates should demonstrate strong hands-on experience in:
- Terraform, including modules and deployment of Azure resources
- GitHub Actions and Jenkins for CI/CD and automated deployments
- Azure Databricks (ADB), including clusters, workflows, deployments and platform troubleshooting
- Azure Data Factory (ADF), including pipelines and Linked Services
- Deployment/provisioning of Storage Accounts, ADF and ADB
- Azure networking and connectivity troubleshooting
- Access provisioning, permissions and authorization-related troubleshooting
- Disaster Recovery, particularly scenarios involving Azure Databricks or other core platform services
3. Troubleshooting Capability Expected
The candidate should be able to explain how they would diagnose and resolve real platform issues, for example:
- Connectivity failures between Azure Storage Accounts and Azure Data Factory
- Identifying missing or failing network/security rules
- ADF pipeline failures, including unauthorized-access issues
- Azure Databricks cluster/workflow/platform issues
- Access and permission-related problems
- Recovery approach when Azure Databricks or other critical platform components become unavailable
The expectation is not simply to identify an issue, but to explain the troubleshooting approach, identify the root cause, and describe how the issue was resolved.
