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 strong, and energized by building platforms that bring data governance, compliance, and operational efficiency together at scale.

Key Responsibilities

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.
