Lead Databricks Architect Job Description

Drive Hadoop to Databricks Migration and Lakehouse Innovation

Position Overview :

We are seeking a highly skilled and strategic Lead Databricks Architect to spearhead our migration from Hadoop to Databricks, establishing scalable, repeatable Lakehouse solutions. You will lead the design, implementation, and optimization of cloud-based data platforms, enabling advanced analytics, AI capabilities, and modern data governance. This role requires deep expertise in big data architectures, hands-on experience with Databricks, and a proven track record in cloud migration projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the identification and categorization of existing Hadoop workloads (ETL, batch, streaming) and data sources for migration to Databricks.
  • Design and implement scalable, repeatable migration use cases, focusing on MVP (Minimum Viable Product) approaches to accelerate value delivery.
  • Provision and architect Databricks environments, including sandbox workspaces with Lakehouse architecture and federation capabilities.
  • Enable seamless connectivity to external data sources (e.g., Hive) and oversee pilot migrations using tools such as Databricks Migration Accelerator or third-party partner solutions.
  • Validate migrated workloads for performance, cost efficiency, and data integrity, leveraging features like Z-ordering, Liquid Clustering, Lakehouse AI monitoring, and Serverless warehouse capabilities.
  • Monitor query performance, storage efficiency, and pipeline health using advanced Databricks features and best practices.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with data engineering, analytics, and governance teams to validate outcomes and incorporate feedback.
  • Document learnings, blockers, and feature gaps to inform broader rollout and continuous improvement efforts.
  • Define and track success metrics such as migration time, query latency, cost savings, and feature adoption.
  • Develop a phased roadmap for full-scale migration, advanced feature adoption, and future platform optimizations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in data architecture, with significant hands-on experience in Hadoop and Databricks environments.
  • Proven expertise in cloud data platforms (Azure), data engineering, and ETL processes.
  • Strong understanding of Lakehouse architecture, data federation, and modern data governance frameworks (e.g., Unity Catalog).
  • Experience leading large-scale migration projects, including MVP definition and iterative delivery.
  • Advanced proficiency with Databricks features such as Delta Lake, Liquid Clustering, AI monitoring, and serverless compute.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to mentor and guide cross-functional teams in adopting best practices and innovative data solutions.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience with Databricks Migration Accelerator or similar migration tools.
  • Hands-on expertise in testing advanced features (dynamic clustering, Lakehouse Federation, Unity Catalog).
  • Knowledge of data security, access controls, and compliance in cloud environments.
  • Experience generating synthetic data and ensuring data governance in migration scenarios.
  • Regards,
