Job Title: Enterprise Database Administrator (Cloud Data & Data Mesh)
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Database Administrator to serve as a core database and platform expert across multiple agile delivery teams. In this role, you will design, install, maintain, and upgrade databases across high-availability production and non-production environments while optimizing modern data mesh infrastructure.

You will manage Databricks Unity Catalog configurations, optimize cross-workspace access patterns, implement data federation strategies, and collaborate closely with cross-functional domain teams. If you are a proactive problem-solver with deep expertise in both relational and cloud-native database environments, we want to hear from you.
