We are seeking a Lead Databricks Engineer/Architect to design, build, and scale our cloud-based lakehouse platform. In this role, you will own the end-to-end architecture of our data ecosystem on Databricks, partner with data science and analytics teams to productionize ML and analytical workloads, and set the technical direction for ingestion, transformation, governance, and performance optimization across petabyte-scale datasets.

Define and enforce platform standards for data modeling (medallion architecture), CI/CD, code quality, testing, observability, and cost optimization. Lead the governance strategy using Unity Catalog — fine-grained access control, data lineage, audit, and PII handling — in partnership with security and compliance. Optimize Spark workloads for performance and cost: cluster sizing, Photon, autoscaling, file layout, Z-ordering, caching, and query tuning. Partner with ML engineers and data scientists to operationalize models using MLflow, feature stores, and model serving on Databricks. Own the cloud infrastructure footprint for the platform: networking, IAM, secrets, encryption, and Terraform/IaC for Databricks workspaces and supporting services. Mentor a team of data engineers; lead architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical design sessions; raise the bar on engineering practices. Engage with stakeholders across analytics, product, and finance to translate business needs into a roadmap for the data platform.  PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 8+ years of data engineering experience, with 4+ years building production workloads on Databricks.

Production experience on at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including networking, IAM, storage (S3/ADLS/GCS), and compute primitives. Proficiency in Python and SQL; comfort with Scala is a plus. Experience designing medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architectures and dimensional models for analytics.
