Data Architect

Sr Architect will design and optimize advanced data and generative AI solutions using Databricks and Python to support complex analytics needs for global business stakeholders. The role focuses on building scalable lakehouse architectures, governing data with Unity Catalog, and enabling reliable workflows through Spark and Databricks jobs. The Sr Architect will collaborate across teams in a hybrid work model to deliver secure, high performance platforms that unlock data insights for impactful, * Design robust lakehouse architectures that integrate Databricks Delta Lake with enterprise data sources to enable scalable analytics and generative AI solutions that advance strategic business outcomes.

• Architect Spark and Pyspark based data pipelines optimized for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency to support complex analytical workloads and downstream applications.
• Develop Python services and reusable components that operationalize GenAI basics and data processing logic, ensuring maintainable and testable code across projects.
• Define Databricks Workflows orchestration patterns that coordinate Spark jobs, Delta Lake operations, and data quality checks to deliver predictable and resilient data products. Configure Databricks Jobs and Lakeflow Jobs to manage end to end batch and near real time processing while monitoring execution health and optimizing resource utilization.
• Establish Databricks SQL models, queries, and shared datasets that provide consistent and governed access to curated information for analytics and reporting teams.
• Implement Databricks Unity Catalog structures including catalogs, schemas, and access controls that enforce enterprise data governance and regulatory compliance requirements. Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, and product stakeholders in a hybrid work setting to translate analytical needs into technical designs and implementation plans.
• Review solution designs and code across Spark, Python, and Databricks assets to ensure adherence to architectural standards, security practices, and performance benchmarks. Document end to end architecture including data lineage, dependency mapping, and operational procedures to support long term maintainability and knowledge sharing.
• Advise business partners on leveraging GenAI capabilities safely and effectively using governed data in Databricks to create measurable impact for customers and society.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing platform metrics, identifying bottlenecks in workflows, and implementing enhancements that increase reliability and throughput.
• Guide adoption of best practices for hybrid collaboration, ensuring that design discussions, reviews, and knowledge sessions are inclusive and accessible to distributed teams.
