• Deconstruct SSAS cube logic and redesign it into Lakehouse-native semantic models.
• Replace legacy SSRS reporting ecosystems with modern, governed analytics layers.
• Rebuild dimensional models within Delta Lake using scalable Lakehouse design patterns.
• Define data modeling standards, ingestion frameworks, CI/CD processes, and operational best practices.
• Implement and enforce Medallion architecture standards (Bronze/Silver/Gold) with performance optimization and governance controls.
• Optimize Spark workloads for scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Implement governance, lineage, security, and monitoring using Unity Catalog and related platform tooling.
• Mentor engineers, conduct architectural reviews, establish and maintain engineering standards.
• Partner with BI, analytics, and AI/ML teams to enable advanced analytics and downstream use cases.
• Influence platform roadmap and architectural decisions.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related field.
• 8 - 12 years of data engineering experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production workloads on Databricks.
• Deep expertise in SQL, PySpark, and distributed data processing.
• Demonstrated leadership in structured enterprise BI modernization programs.
• Proven experience replacing SSIS-based ETL with scalable Spark-based frameworks.
• Strong understanding of SSAS cube architecture and semantic layer modernization.
• Experience designing and operating high-volume, enterprise-grade analytical data platforms.
• Strong knowledge of Delta Lake, Lakehouse and Medallion architectures, data versioning, and Workflows/Jobs orchestration.
