About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Data Architect with strong hands-on Data Engineering experience to lead the design and implementation of a modern data architecture from scratch for a strategic client project. This role will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing scalable data platforms that support Business Intelligence, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence initiatives, and AI agent-based systems. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Databricks and modern data architectures, along with experience building enterprise-grade data solutions in cloud environments.
Responsabilities
Design and implement modern data architectures using Databricks as the core platform.
Build and manage scalable Data Lakes, ETL/ELT pipelines, and data integration processes.
Develop solutions for processing large volumes of structured and unstructured data.
Design data models optimized for analytics, BI, and AI-driven applications.
Implement data ingestion, transformation, and data quality processes.
Optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency of Databricks workloads and pipelines.
Collaborate with AI/ML teams to enable datasets and pipelines for intelligent agents and AI systems.
Define and implement data engineering standards, governance, and best practices.
Integrate multiple data sources through APIs, databases, and external systems — including clinical and financial systems in the healthcare sector (EHR, RCM, billing).
Implement monitoring, observability, and automation for data processes.
Support BI and analytics teams with reliable and scalable data solutions.
Document architectures, pipelines, and technical processes with sufficient clarity for both technical and executive audiences. Required Qualifications
8+ years of experience in Data Architecture and Data Engineering roles, with real and demonstrable hands-on practice in both disciplines.
Strong hands-on and production-level experience with Databricks.
Proven experience designing and implementing Data Lakes and modern data architectures.
Strong expertise in SQL and Python for data engineering.
Experience building scalable ETL/ELT pipelines.
Solid knowledge of Apache Spark and distributed data processing.
Experience handling large-scale datasets.
Strong understanding of data modeling for analytics and BI.
Experience working in cloud environments.
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD, and modern development workflows.
Ability to work independently in fast-paced startup environments.
The candidate must be equally comfortable leading an architecture design session and executing production data pipelines — both activities are permanent and of equal value in this role.
