Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role
You'll design and build the firm's first Databricks instance, standing up a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold) on Azure and integrating it with the firm's existing portfolio administration and data intelligence platforms. The environment you build will become the firm's golden data source.
What We're Looking For
- Proven, hands-on delivery of Databricks / Delta Lake builds - ACID transactions, time travel, schema evolution, and performance tuning (OPTIMIZE, Z-ordering, VACUUM)
- Strong command of medallion architecture and PySpark, lazy evaluation, partitioning, broadcast joins, and diagnosing partition skew
- Solid Azure data platform experience; familiarity with Azure Analysis Services or a comparable semantic layer is a plus
- Confidence engaging senior, non-technical stakeholders and translating between technical and business needs
- Experience working within Private Equity is highly desirable - wider Financial Services is accepted
