Responsibilities:
- Lead a Databricks Well-Architected assessment across platform architecture, observability, pipelines, consumption, data quality, security, governance, and cost. Define target-state architecture and technical standards for the Data & AI platform. Identify architectural gaps, technical debt, platform risks, and remediation priorities.
- Establish architectural patterns supporting scalable data ingestion, transformation, analytics, AI, and agent-based solutions.

Lead architecture and design reviews. Establish reusable engineering standards, reference architectures, runbooks, and implementation patterns. Participate in milestone and steering reviews.
- Deliver a secure, observable, governed, cost-aware, AI-ready Databricks architecture that can scale beyond a single use case. Produce assessment scorecards, remediation plans, platform standards, reusable data architecture patterns, and semantic and AI architecture assets. Enable operational readiness with monitoring, runbooks, documentation, and knowledge transfer.

- Experience with MCP and agent-based architectures, GenAI governance, tracing, and evaluation preferred.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across engineering, security, architecture, and business teams.
