You will also conduct training sessions to educate users on platform best practices and capabilities. In addition, you will be responsible for managing platform costs, implementing backup and disaster recovery strategies, and integrating Databricks with other data sources, data warehouses, and data lakes. Working within an Agile delivery/DevOps methodology, you will support the application development teams in debugging and issue resolution. Overall, as a Databricks platform administrator, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and continuous improvement of the Databricks platform to meet the organization's data processing and analytics needs.,
