**What do you need for this opportunity?

Must have skills required: Azure-to-GCP mappings, CDC, Event Hub, Scd2, anonymized migration, Databricks, Databricks migrations., IAM, Azure, GCP

GI is Looking for: Role Objective**** Help build and validate a safe Azure Databricks-to-Databricks-on-GCP migration system covering assessment, risk classification, migration design, controlled execution, verification, cutover and rollback.

This is a hands-on architecture and risk-validation role – not general Databricks training.

Key Responsibilities

- Validate migration classifier rules and supported or unsupported workloads.
- Identify discovery gaps, hidden dependencies and unsafe assumptions.
- Review Azure-to-GCP mappings: ADLS to GCS, Event Hubs to Pub/Sub, ADF to Databricks Jobs/Lakeflow, Key Vault to Secret Manager references, and Entra identities to GCP identities and SCIM groups.
- Review Unity Catalog, Delta, notebooks, jobs, pipelines, compute and governance migration.
- Design batch, streaming, CDC, SCD2 and ML migration patterns.
- Review generated Terraform, Databricks Asset Bundles and execution plans.
- Define human-approval boundaries for security, semantic changes and production operations.
- Review pilot readiness, cutover plans, rollback procedures and post-migration evidence.




- Convert recommendations into written rules, test cases and decision records.

Risk and Verification Expectations
- Unknown dependencies and unsupported objects fail closed.
- IAM, grants, ownership, row filters, masks and secret mappings receive human approval.
- Semantic refactors and architecture exceptions are reviewed by an appropriate owner.
- Production cutover, rollback, source shutdown and deletion are never autonomous.
- Failed verification gates cannot be overridden by an aggregate confidence score.

Verification Must Cover
- Inventory and dependency accounting
- Schema and Delta protocol parity
- Counts, hashes, keys and KPI reconciliation
- SCD2, CDC and financial invariants
- Streaming loss, duplication, lag and late events
- Job behaviour, schedules, retries and side effects
- Security and privilege differences
- Performance, resilience and rollback readiness

Required Experience

- Led at least two production Databricks migrations.
- Direct responsibility for migration assessment, verification, cutover and rollback.
- Hands-on Azure Databricks and Databricks-on-GCP experience.
- Strong Unity Catalog, Delta Lake and Structured Streaming expertise.
- Experience with ADLS, ADF, Event Hubs, Key Vault and Entra ID.




- Working knowledge of GCS, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, service accounts, federation, PSC and VPC Service Controls.
- Terraform and Databricks Asset Bundles experience.
- Ability to provide anonymized migration, reconciliation or rollback evidence.
- Strong written communication and willingness to review implementation artifacts.

Success Criteria
- Recommendations are traceable to evidence.
- High-risk conditions have named owners and escalation rules.
- Unsupported cases fail closed.
- No known false pass exists for a hard verification gate.
- Reviews produce reusable classifier rules, tests or templates.
- The candidate can defend the migration approach to customer architects.
