Responsibilities:

  • Provide hands-on architectural guidance to teams implementing data pipelines, analytics workflows, data products, and AI/ML capabilities in Databricks and Palantir Foundry.
  • Guide selection and implementation of platform-native capabilities for data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, model execution, analytics, and data-product delivery.
  • Advise teams on appropriate use of Databricks, Foundry, and integrated cross-platform architectures.
  • Guide the transition of prototypes and notebook-based solutions into reliable, maintainable production workflows.
  • Establish and maintain technical standards for project structure, code organization, pipeline design, workflow orchestration, testing, metadata, lineage, documentation, and platform implementation.
  • Develop reusable templates, reference architectures, and implementation patterns that improve consistency and accelerate delivery.
  • Promote scalable approaches including medallion architecture, governed data publishing, reusable transformation logic, and shared analytics and ML components.
  • Conduct technical reviews and provide actionable guidance to improve scalability, maintainability, reliability, and supportability.
  • Guide CI/CD implementation for jobs, pipelines, notebooks, packaged code, models, and data products.
  • Establish operational practices for deployment, environment promotion, monitoring, alerting, rollback, release management, observability, lineage, and data-quality validation.
  • Promote reproducible MLOps practices for model training, validation, packaging, registration, deployment, monitoring, batch inference, and lifecycle management using MLflow, Databricks workflows, and related capabilities.
  • Design scalable ML inference approaches supporting production workloads and establish monitoring for model performance, data drift, and system health.
  • Support self-service ML capabilities that enable data scientists to efficiently deploy and monitor models.
  • Define integration patterns for onboarding data sources, managing schema evolution, and connecting Databricks and Foundry with enterprise systems, applications, data warehouses, streaming platforms, APIs, and BI tools.
  • Guide implementation of secure access controls, governed data sharing, metadata management, data catalogs, lineage, traceability, and audit-ready workflows.
  • Establish data-quality standards and automated testing approaches for analytical and ML workloads.
  • Partner with stakeholders to define data definitions, business logic, governance requirements, and compliant handling of structured and unstructured data.
  • Advise teams on Spark optimization, workload design, workflow dependencies, storage and compute utilization, and other platform-performance considerations.
  • Identify and help resolve architecture, integration, reliability, and performance issues affecting production jobs, data products, and operational analytics.
  • Design data models supporting machine learning, analytics, and business intelligence requirements, including integrations with Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik Sense.
  • Build and support integrations with MAVEN Smart Systems/Palantir Foundry environments and other enterprise systems.
  • Collaborate with engineers, data scientists, BI analysts, product managers, platform and security teams, and mission stakeholders to align architecture decisions with delivery priorities.
  • Participate in design sessions, technical reviews, sprint activities, demonstrations, and cross-team problem solving.
  • Maintain technical documentation supporting implementation consistency, reuse, operational handoff, and long-term supportability.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of technical experience, including 3+ years designing or implementing production solutions on Databricks, Palantir Foundry, or similar modern data platforms.
