Set the Standard

Mentor & Multiply

– Act as the senior‑most technical mentor for Data Engineers and elevate team capabilities through design reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance.

Own the Ecosystem

– Drive strategic selection and integration of data tools, leveraging Databricks and Snowflake to create powerful, efficient, and scalable data ecosystems.

Solve the Unsolvable

– Serve as the final escalation point for the most complex technical challenges, prototype solutions, and de‑risk new technologies.

What You Bring (Requirements)

5+ years in a formal Data Architect role, focusing on designing and implementing large‑scale data solutions.

Deep architectural expertise with either Databricks or Snowflake (experience with both is a plus).

Expert‑level knowledge of the AWS data ecosystem (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Kinesis).

Proven ability to write Python and SQL for data architecture and pipeline design.

Exceptional client‑facing skills: experience leading technical workshops, presenting to C‑level executives, and translating business needs into technical designs.

Proven ability to lead and mentor senior technical teams and manage complex, multi‑faceted projects.

Strategic “builder” mindset, startup mentality, and genuine thirst for knowledge.

Bonus Points (Nice‑to‑Haves)

Multiple high‑level certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Databricks/Snowflake certifications).

Experience in a Professional Services or consulting environment.
