Databricks Application Training Specialist
Whitehall Resources are currently looking for a Databricks Application Training Specialist based in Cambridge for an initial 6 month contract.
*** INSIDE IR35 ***
Job Spec:
Use deep, hands-on knowledge of the Databricks platform to design and deliver a training scheme enabling colleagues to build applications on Databricks.

Key Responsibilities:
Define a shared foundation and tailored training experiences for two stakeholder groups:
- Analyst pathway: For people without a full-stack software engineering background, focused on using approved patterns to build lightweight applications for team use cases.
- Application engineer pathway: For experienced engineers building larger, complex applications that need to be secure, scalable, maintainable and supported over time.
