We are looking for a seasoned, hands-on Solution Architect to design and deliver modern data and analytics platforms at scale. This role sits at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and stakeholder engagement, and is ideal for someone who enjoys staying close to the technology while shaping end-to-end solutions.
You will play a key role across the full project lifecycle, from requirements discovery and solution design through build, deployment, and optimization, working closely with engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Design and architect end-to-end data platforms built on Databricks and a modern cloud-native technology stack
- Lead solution design across batch and real-time data processing, analytics, and AI/ML use cases
- Work hands-on with engineering teams to ensure architectural designs are practical, scalable, and well implemented
- Define and guide microservices-based architectures, APIs, and data integration patterns
- Translate business requirements into clear technical designs and architectural blueprints
- Provide technical leadership across the full delivery cycle: discovery, design, build, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support
- Ensure solutions align with best practices around performance, security, scalability, and cost optimization
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing design decisions and driving alignment
Required Experience & Skills
- Strong experience as a Solution Architect, Data Architect, or Senior Technical Architect
- Deep hands-on experience with Databricks (data engineering, analytics, and/or ML workloads)
- Solid understanding of modern data architectures (lakehouse, streaming, batch processing)
- Experience designing and working with microservices architectures and APIs
- Comfortable with modern tech stacks, including cloud platforms, distributed systems, and data pipelines
- Proven experience delivering projects end to end, not just design-only roles
- Still hands-on with technology and code, despite being senior and experienced
- Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts in a clear and practical way
- Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work across teams
