The Role
We need a technical leader who can design scalable data architectures while managing the team's performance against SLAs. You will be responsible for the "How" (architecture/methodology) and the "When" (delivery). You bridge the gap between business and technical implementation.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture: Design and govern the data model (Medallion architecture) and oversee the implementation of Unity Catalog.
Team Management: Manage 3 engineers (hopefully scale up to 6 in short-term), monitor SLAs, and conduct code reviews.
Methodology: Professionalize the way of working (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, Documentation).
Stakeholder Management: Translate business needs into technical roadmaps.
Requirements (Must Haves)
5+ years of experience in Data Engineering/Architecture on Azure.
Proven experience leading a technical team (mentoring, code reviews, sprint planning).
Deep knowledge of Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake) and Spark architecture.
Experience with DevOps for data (CI/CD)
Strong communication skills: ability to push back on unrealistic deadlines and explain technical debt to non-tech stakeholders.
Nice To Haves
Experience with Azure AI Foundry or Machine Learning engineering.
Background in an MSP or consultancy environment (handling multiple clients/tenants)
Experience with Nifi for data collection
