About DataNimbus:
DataNimbus is an enterprise AI company with deep vertical solutions in financial services and industrial sectors. We build domain-native AI that understands how industries actually operate, not just how data flows through them. Our solutions are outcome-driven and industry-specific, delivering measurable results across how money moves, how assets perform, and how businesses grow. We go deep so our customers don't have to start from scratch.
Domain depth. Enterprise scale. AI outcomes.
With headquarters in the U.S. and offices in India and Canada, DataNimbus operates globally, fostering a culture of responsible innovation, adaptability, and customer-centricity. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner for customers navigating the complexities of Data+AI and payment modernization.

- 2+ years as architect or technical lead, owning design decisions for a platform or program.
- Led at least 2 end-to-end migrations to Databricks from legacy platforms (e.g. Hadoop, Teradata, Oracle, Informatica, Synapse, Snowflake), each at TB scale or above.
- Led the design and delivery of at least 2 end-to-end Databricks lakehouse implementations, covering medallion architecture, data modeling (dimensional, Data Vault or similar), batch and streaming, Unity Catalog governance, and non-functional requirements (performance SLAs, cost, security, DR).
- Owned technical delivery of at least 1 Databricks program (team of 4+, 6+ months): scope, estimates, technical risks and timelines.
- Authored architecture artifacts used by delivery teams and customers: design documents, architecture decision records (ADRs), reference architectures and C4/solution diagrams. Redacted samples may be requested.
- Production experience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow/Delta Live Tables or Workflows, and Structured Streaming.
- Advanced SQL and production-grade PySpark (testing, packaging, code review), Scala a plus.
- Deep Apache Spark expertise (execution model, shuffle, Catalyst/Tungsten, memory, AQE, Structured Streaming state) applied to architecture decisions: data layout, partitioning and clustering strategy, cluster sizing and workload isolation.
- Deep expertise in one cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP) as it applies to Databricks (networking, IAM, storage, security), plus hands-on project experience in a second.
- Implemented CI/CD and infrastructure as code for Databricks in production (Databricks Asset Bundles, Terraform, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps).
- Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional.
- Consulting / customer-facing experience, working with external clients across a variety of industry markets, including managing conflicting priorities and difficult stakeholder situations.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
