Notebook runs with error when run as a job

I am using a notebook to copy over my database on a schedule (I had no success connecting through the Data Explorer UI). When I run the notebook on its own, it works. When I run it as a scheduled job, I get this error. 

org.apache.spark.SparkSQLException: Unsupported type ARRAY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Py4JJavaError                             Traceback (most recent call last)
File <command-3916833176743968>:13
      1 tables = [
      2     "daily_aggregations",
      3     "journal_entries",
   (...)
      9     "users" 
     10 ]
     12 for table in tables:
---> 13     remote_table = (spark.read
     14         .format("jdbc")
     15         .option("driver", driver)
     16         .option("url", url)
     17         .option("dbtable", table)
     18         .option("user", user)
     19         .option("password", password)
     20         .load()
     21     )
     22     remote_table.write.mode("overwrite").saveAsTable(table)

Any ideas why it only fails when run as a job?

This is my code.

driver = "org.postgresql.Driver"

user = dbutils.secrets.get("leaflet-database", "user")
password = dbutils.secrets.get("leaflet-database", "password")
host = dbutils.secrets.get("leaflet-database", "host")
port = dbutils.secrets.get("leaflet-database", "port")
name = dbutils.secrets.get("leaflet-database", "name")

url = f"jdbc:postgresql://{host}:{port}/{name}"

tables = [
    "daily_aggregations",
    "journal_entries",
    "plant_actions",
    "plant_classifications",
    "plants",
    "readings",
    "sensors",
    "users" 
]

for table in tables:
    remote_table = (spark.read
        .format("jdbc")
        .option("driver", driver)
        .option("url", url)
        .option("dbtable", table)
        .option("user", user)
        .option("password", password)
        .load()
    )
    remote_table.write.mode("overwrite").saveAsTable(table)

 This is the job definition JSON.
