10+ years of data platform architecture experience, with several years on Databricks in production.- Deep hands-on knowledge of Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Spark, Photon and Databricks Asset Bundles.- Strong data modelling: entity resolution, slowly changing dimensions, event and state modelling, semantic layer design.- Experience designing Azure-native EDP topologies (workspaces, clusters, network, identity, cost controls).- Experience implementing enterprise data catalogues (Collibra, Purview, Alation, AWS DataZone or similar) integrated with a technical catalogue.- Comfortable writing reference code, reviewing PRs and pairing with engineers.- Fluent working English.Nice to have: - Active Databricks certifications - Prior exposure to investment management platforms, asset management operations data, market data feeds from major providers - CDMP DAMA or TOGAF certification.- Experience applying agentic engineering tooling to platform work, including MCP-connected Databricks or cloud servers.Responsibilities: - Own the Lakehouse architecture, Unity Catalog design and medallion standards that every domain team builds against.- Author and maintain Architecture Decision Records for the platform.- Design integration patterns for ingestion, processing and serving, and codify them as reusable reference implementations.- Review domain designs and contribute to code reviews.- Co-own the reference pattern library and evolve it wave over wave.- Design FinOps guardrails and observability across the platform.- Contribute to agent rules and skill definitions so architectural standards are enforced by generation rather than documentation.Why this position: - Own the architecture of a large-scale enterprise data platform migration from the ground up - reference patterns, Unity Catalog design and medallion standards that every domain team builds against.You'll work at the leading edge of the Databricks ecosystem on a high-stakes lakehouse build, applying agentic engineering tooling to enforce standards through generation rather than documentation, and shaping the platform's technical foundations alongside a parallel data governance workstream. ## Related Videos -
