Lead and mentor a team of data engineers, guiding design decisions, code quality, and best practices on Databricks-based builds.
Translate solution architecture into detailed technical design and implementation plans, working closely with Architects and Project/Program Managers.
Build and review Azure Databricks pipelines and components: Lakehouse (Delta Lake), Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL, Workflows, and integrations with the broader Azure data ecosystem.
Drive engineering standards — coding practices, CI/CD, testing, and performance optimization — across the delivery team.
Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues during build and post-go-live stabilization; own production support escalations where needed.
Track and report delivery progress, risks, and technical dependencies to project/program leadership.
Support estimation and technical inputs for ongoing and upcoming project phases within the practice.
Contribute to reusable delivery accelerators, patterns, and best practices for the Data & AI practice.
