As a Senior Specialist, Intelligence Platform Engineer reporting to the AVP of Enterprise Architecture, you'll play a critical role in administering, governing, and scaling Nasdaq's centralized Databricks Lakehouse environment — the CAP Intelligence Platform — which serves multiple business units across the Capital Access Platforms organization.

You'll thrive in this position if you're detail-oriented, technically robust, and energized by building platforms that bring data governance, compliance, and operational efficiency together at scale.

Administer and support a multi-workspace Databricks environment, including Unity Catalog governance, service principal management, and enterprise integrations, ensuring platform reliability and operational standards across all business units.

- Own platform-wide governance by monitoring compliance with catalog structure, metadata standards, naming conventions, and tagging requirements — producing scorecards, audit reports, and driving remediation where needed.
- Deliver monthly cost and usage reporting across workspaces, compute clusters, serverless workloads, and storage resources, identifying optimization opportunities and providing business unit-level consumption transparency.
- Partner with workspace administrators and data stewards across six business units to enable self-service administration, develop operational documentation, and serve as the escalation point for complex platform issues.




- Support Infrastructure-as-Code implementations using Terraform to automate provisioning, governance validation, and reporting — contributing to a scalable, efficient platform.

- 5+ years of experience in data platform administration, cloud infrastructure, or a comparable technical discipline.
- Hands-on experience administering Databricks at scale, including Unity Catalog, workspace configuration, and compute management.
- Strong communicator who works effectively across technical and business teams in matrixed, cross-functional environments.
