- Partner with delivery teams to resolve complex technical challenges and act as an escalation point for architecture-related decisions and positive client sentiment

- Integrate AI-augmented delivery practices into solution design and implementation, while exercising strong engineering judgment and governance

- Mentor engineers and senior engineers through architecture reviews, design sessions, and ongoing coaching

- Contribute to pre-sales activities including technical discovery workshops, solution shaping, and proposal support

## What You'll Need

- Over 7 years of experience designing and delivering data solutions, with experience operating in an architecture or senior technical leadership role

- Deep expertise in modern data architectures, including lakehouse, ELT/ETL orchestration, data modeling, and analytics platforms on Microsoft Azure

- Strong understanding of data governance, security, and compliance considerations (e.g., RBAC, data classification, lineage)

- Experience leveraging AI‑augmented delivery techniques to improve solution quality and productivity, with the ability to establish usage standards and lead by example through hands‑on application.

- Ability to communicate complex architectural concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

- Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating across cross-functional teams

What Will Set You Apart

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field

- Experience designing enterprise-scale data platforms using Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, or multi-cloud data ecosystems
