Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure)

About the job What project we have for you Our client is an independent, active global asset manager with over R3 trillion in assets under management. They are executing a firm-wide data strategy to govern, manage and engineer data as a product across more than 70 business-owned sub-domains. As part of this, they are migrating to Databricks as the foundational layer of their Enterprise Data Platform, adopting a lakehouse architecture built on open formats, declarative pipelines and Unity Catalog. What you will do Design and operate CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps for every domain team, using Databricks Asset Bundles as the deployment substrate. Manage Databricks workspaces, clusters, jobs and policies through infrastructure as code (Terraform). Own environment promotion (dev / test / prod), release governance and rollback. Set up observability across pipelines and platform components: logs, metrics, alerting and operational dashboards. Implement FinOps guardrails: autoscaling, cold-tier storage, cost tagging per domain and weekly cost reviews. Manage secrets, service principals, network configuration and identity integration with Azure AD. Automate quality gates, security scans and standards checks in the CI pipeline so generated and hand-written code both go through the same checks. Enable the agentic tooling loop by exposing platform APIs to MCP servers where appropriate. What you need for this 5+ years of DevOps or platform engineering, with recent hands-on Azure experience. Strong Terraform, Azure DevOps pipelines and Databricks Asset Bundles. Experience running Databricks in production: workspaces, Unity Catalog metastore, cluster policies, jobs, SQL Warehouses. Comfort with Azure identity, networking, storage and security fundamentals. Track record of building CI/CD for data platforms, not just application deployment. Experience with observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, Azure Monitor or similar). Fluent working English. Nice to have Active Databricks certifications FinOps Foundation certification or equivalent cost management experience. Experience integrating MCP servers or agentic tooling with cloud and Databricks APIs. Financial services background.
