## About the Role

Do you have experience in Web services design?, * 8+ years across data engineering, software engineering, or platform architecture

 * Deep hands-on experience with T-SQL, SQL Server at scale, SSAS, and Azure Data Factory.
 * Production experience with ClickHouse (or a comparable columnar engine such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks).
 * Strong production-grade skills in Python, Go, or a comparable backend language - and the discipline to write the code, not just the diagrams.
 * Comfort designing event-driven systems (REST, NATS or Kafka, CDC) and operating workloads on Kubernetes.
 * Genuine fluency with AI-assisted engineering - coding agents, LLM tooling, retrieval, evals - and a point of view on how to do it responsibly inside a regulated, multi-site business.
 * A track record of partnering with executives and turning ambiguous business problems into durable technical designs.
 * Reside in or be willing to relocate to Birmingham, Alabama and work onsite., * Veterinary, healthcare, or multi-site retail/services experience, particularly with Practice Information Management Systems (PIMS).

## Description

* Own the target-state architecture for the data platform end-to-end - ingestion, storage, modeling, serving, and governance.
 * Set the direction for our analytical layer on SQL Server, SSAS, and ClickHouse, and for our integration fabric across Azure Data Factory, REST APIs, NATS, and CDC.
 * Design and operate event-driven, service-oriented workloads on Kubernetes in Go and Python.
 * Make AI-driven development a core focus of the team: build and adopt agentic tooling (code-aware agents, retrieval over our own schemas and lineage) so engineers ship faster, with better tests and documentation, and so routine work gets automated rather than repeated.
 * Define the data contracts, schema standards, and quality SLAs that engineering and analytics teams build against.
 * Embed PII/PHI handling, access control, and auditability into the platform
 * Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and translate executive intent into delivery roadmaps.
