• Collaborate with Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, Consultants, and business stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical leadership and direction to delivery teams during implementation.
• Support project delivery by resolving complex technical challenges and ensuring architectural consistency.
• Establish and promote standards, best practices, reusable assets, and reference architectures.
• Design and recommend modern architecture patterns including lakehouse, data mesh, and cloud-native approaches.
• Participate in presales engagements, including solution scoping, effort estimation, and technical proposal creation.
• Support RFI and RFP responses with architecture design, technical recommendations, and delivery approaches.
• Present proposed solutions to technical and business audiences ranging from project teams to executive stakeholders.
• Contribute to capability development, mentoring initiatives, knowledge-sharing activities, and Competency Center growth.

What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of experience in Data & Analytics.
• 5+ years experience in databricks.
• Hands-on expertise across at least 2 Data & Analytics platforms, one of which must be Databricks

Nice to have

• Databricks Architect Champion
• Cloud architect certification (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Experience with additional platforms such as Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or BigQuery
• Lakehouse, data mesh, and data governance experience
• GenAI / ML solution design experience
• Strong SQL and Python skills; familiarity with dbt or similar ELT tooling
• Presales experience — responding to RFPs/RFIs and writing technical proposals

What to expect

• 50% — client delivery on Data & Analytics and AI projects
• 50% — presales: solution design, scoping, and preparing offers/proposal.
