Data Platform Engineer (102-08SENG-01)

This role converts a large Azure Data Factory estate into Databricks workflows on AWS. The scope for year one: 2,094 ADF pipelines to migrate — built as reusable templates rather than one-by-one — 9,859 pipeline activities to translate (some map directly, others need rewriting as Lambda or Step Functions), 471 Spark dataflows to move onto Databricks on AWS, and 4 Databricks workspaces (Dev, QA, Pre-prod, Prod) to rehost, including notebook paths and Unity Catalog rewiring. This is a regulated environment, so reconciling migrated data against source systems is part of the definition of done, not an afterthought.
