• Design and implement scalable enterprise data architectures using Databricks, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and cloud-native technologies.
• Develop and maintain modern data transformation frameworks using dbt, including staging, intermediate, and data mart models.
• Architect secure, reliable, and high-performance data platforms that support analytics, reporting, and enterprise data products.
• Lead migration of legacy ETL solutions to modern, code-first, version-controlled data engineering frameworks.
• Design and optimize data pipelines using SQL, Python, and orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow.
• Implement data governance, metadata management, data quality controls, and master data management (MDM) best practices.
• Design SOX-compliant data environments, including access controls, audit readiness, change management, and ITGC processes.
• Collaborate with Finance, Accounting, Tax, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable data solutions aligned with business requirements.
• Build CI/CD pipelines and automate deployment processes using GitLab, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
• Design event-driven data architectures leveraging distributed streaming technologies such as Kafka where applicable.
• Work closely with engineering teams to support microservices-based architectures and enterprise integration requirements.
• Continuously optimize platform performance, scalability, security, and operational efficiency while promoting modern data engineering standards.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 8+ years of experience in Data Architecture, Data Engineering, or related enterprise data roles.
• 5+ years of hands-on expertise with Databricks, including Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Workflows, and SQL/Python notebooks.
• Strong proficiency in dbt, including data modeling, testing frameworks, documentation, and CI/CD integration.
• Advanced SQL and Python programming skills for large-scale data transformation and pipeline development.
• Proven experience designing and managing SOX-controlled data environments, governance frameworks, and audit-ready architectures.
• Strong background migrating legacy ETL platforms to modern cloud-native data engineering solutions.
• Experience working with the Azure data ecosystem, including Azure Data Factory (ADF), Azure DevOps, and Azure Active Directory (Entra ID).
• Knowledge of Finance Data Intelligence, Master Data Management (MDM), distributed event streaming platforms such as Kafka, and microservices architecture.
• Experience designing enterprise data products for Finance, Accounting, Tax, or related business domains.
• Strong analytical, architectural, and communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
