Job description

Data Architect Role
Location: Milpitas
Job Type: Hybrid
Needs local (Bay area, CA)
4 days on site
Job Description:
Position Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Data Architect with deep technical expertise in Azure and Databricks to design and build enterprise data platforms and products. This role requires a unique blend of architectural vision and hands-on implementation skills - you'll design solutions AND write code to bring them to life.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Design
  • Design scalable, secure, and cost-effective data architectures on Azure and Databricks
  • Define data platform standards, patterns, and best practices
  • Create reference architectures for data lakehouse implementations
  • Design end-to-end data product architectures from ingestion to consumption
Hands-On Implementation
  • Build proof-of-concepts and reference implementations personally
  • Write production-grade Spark code (PySpark, Scala, SQL)
  • Implement complex data pipelines and transformations
  • Configure and optimize Databricks environments and Azure services
  • Lead by example through hands-on technical contributions
Data Platform Development
  • Design and implement data lakehouse architectures using Delta Lake
  • Architect streaming and batch processing solutions at scale
  • Build data governance frameworks using Unity Catalog and Azure Purview
  • Design data quality and observability solutions
Technical Leadership
  • Provide technical guidance to data engineering teams
  • Conduct architecture reviews and code reviews
  • Mentor engineers on Databricks and Azure best practices
  • Evaluate and recommend new technologies and tools
Stakeholder Engagement
  • Translate business requirements into technical architectures
  • Present architectural designs to technical and business stakeholders
  • Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and platform teams
  • Drive architectural decisions and alignment across teams
Required Qualifications
Technical Expertise
  • 8+ years of data engineering/architecture experience
  • Deep hands-on expertise in Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Medallion architecture, cluster optimization)
  • Extensive Azure experience (Data Lake Storage, Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Event Hubs, Purview)
  • Expert-level Apache Spark skills (performance tuning, optimization, architecture)
  • Strong programming skills in PySpark, Scala, and/or Python
  • Advanced SQL knowledge and query optimization
Architecture Experience
  • Proven track record designing and implementing large-scale data platforms
  • Experience with data lakehouse, data mesh, or modern data stack architectures
  • Deep understanding of data modeling techniques (dimensional, normalized, data vault)
  • Knowledge of real-time streaming architectures (Kafka, Event Hubs, Structured Streaming)
  • Experience with data governance, security, and compliance frameworks
Technical Depth
  • THIS IS NOT A PURE ARCHITECTURE ROLE - Daily coding and hands-on work required
  • Ability to debug complex Spark jobs and optimize performance
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, ARM templates)
  • Understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD for data pipelines
  • Knowledge of data quality, testing, and observability frameworks
Preferred Qualifications
  • Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification
  • Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional or Solutions Architect
  • Experience with machine learning platforms and MLOps
  • Background in cloud migration and modernization projects
  • Knowledge of FinOps and cloud cost optimization
  • Experience with multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform)
  • Previous consulting or advisory experience
Technical Skills Summary
Must Have:
  • Azure (comprehensive knowledge across data services)
  • Databricks (expert-level implementation and optimization)
  • Apache Spark (architecture, tuning, advanced optimization)
  • PySpark and/or Scala (production-level coding)
  • SQL (complex queries, performance tuning)
  • Data architecture patterns and best practices
What Makes This Role Unique
This is NOT a traditional "ivory tower" architect role. We need someone who:
  • Designs architectures in the morning and implements them in the afternoon
  • Gets into the weeds with Spark optimization and cluster tuning
  • Can architect a solution AND build a working prototype
  • Debugs production issues alongside the engineering team
  • Writes code daily, not just PowerPoint slides
Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • Senior engineer who's ready to take on architecture responsibilities
  • Or architect who refuses to stop coding and building
  • Believes the best way to validate an architecture is to implement it
  • Values pragmatic solutions over theoretical perfection
Key Differentiators
  • 70% hands-on technical work, 30% architecture/design
  • Direct contribution to codebase and data products
  • Technical leadership through example, not delegation
  • Ownership of both design and implementation
Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
  • Master's degree or equivalent experience preferred
