# Databricks Data Analyst – AI/BI & FinOps – Etihad Airways

Etihad Airways is hiring a Databricks Data Analyst focused on AI/BI and FinOps, based in Abu Dhabi. Etihad Airways is the national airline of the UAE, operating a global network from its hub in Abu Dhabi. Like most large airlines, Etihad runs on data, from bookings and loyalty to operations and finance, and much of that data increasingly lives on modern cloud platforms such as Databricks.

The title points to two connected responsibilities. On the AI/BI side, you will build analysis and reporting on Databricks: writing SQL and Python in notebooks, building reliable datasets and dashboards, and making use of the platform’s AI-assisted BI features so business users can explore data more easily. On the FinOps side, you will analyse the cost of cloud and data platform usage itself: tracking compute and storage spend, attributing costs to teams and workloads, spotting inefficient jobs or idle clusters, and helping engineering and finance teams make informed decisions about capacity and optimisation.

That combination makes the role unusual. You need to be comfortable with the technical details of how data workloads run, and also able to translate usage and cost data into clear, business-friendly insight. Expect to work with data engineers, platform owners, finance colleagues and business stakeholders across the airline.

The role suits an analyst with hands-on Databricks or Spark experience, strong SQL, a practical understanding of cloud billing, and the curiosity to dig into why costs or numbers move. Experience in a large enterprise or aviation setting is helpful but not essential.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, information systems, engineering, finance or a related field

- Hands-on experience with Databricks, including notebooks, SQL warehouses and Delta tables

- Strong SQL skills; Python or PySpark for data analysis

- Experience building dashboards in Databricks AI/BI, Power BI, Tableau or similar tools

- Understanding of cloud cost models on Azure, AWS or GCP and FinOps practices such as cost allocation, tagging and optimisation

- Familiarity with Unity Catalog, system tables or other platform usage data is an advantage

- FinOps Certified Practitioner or Databricks certifications are an advantage

- Ability to communicate technical and cost findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders

- Strong attention to detail and analytical problem solving

## Suggested Resume Keywords
