Overnight Databricks Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Senior Enterprise Architect – Data & AI

We are seeking a Senior Enterprise Architect – Data & AI to modernize our legacy data platforms and shape the target-state architecture for a cloud-native, AI-enabled data ecosystem. This leader will define pragmatic reference architectures, patterns, and guardrails that accelerate delivery—shifting architecture from a "governance gate" to a product-minded enablement function that empowers teams to build secure, compliant, and scalable data products faster.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

• Legacy Modernization & Target-State Architecture: Lead modernization of legacy data platforms into a cloud-native architecture, defining migration strategies, transitional architectures, and decommissioning roadmaps.
• Cloud Data Platforms (Warehouse/Lakehouse): Architect enterprise solutions using modern data warehousing and lakehouse platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, and/or Microsoft Fabric, including workload placement, cost/performance optimization, and resilience patterns.
• Data Engineering Enablement: Establish patterns for ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and observability (batch/streaming), and partner with engineering teams to improve delivery quality and velocity.
• AI-Driven Data Modernization: Apply AI concepts to modernize data engineering and delivery (e.g., intelligent metadata, automated lineage, code assist, testing/validation automation, anomaly detection, and policy enforcement).
• Guardrails, Standards & Reusable Blueprints: Define architecture guardrails, reference implementations, reusable templates, and "paved roads" that teams can adopt with minimal friction.
• Governance-by-Design: Embed security, privacy, risk, and regulatory requirements into architecture patterns and CI/CD practices—enabling "continuous compliance" rather than after-the-fact reviews.
• Stakeholder Leadership: Influence senior stakeholders across business, product, engineering, security, and governance to align priorities, resolve tradeoffs, and drive measurable modernization outcomes.
